| Bio | I have authored three non-fiction works, have completed a work of historical fiction and am working on a second historical fiction. I was the owner of an independent bookstore. During this time I developed a Literary Series that brought six Canadian authors to our town each Spring and another six in the Fall. I helped orchestrate two major Literary Conferences. The second conference brought Douglas Gibson and Guy Vanderhaeghe as well as history writers from Ireland, Canada and the United States along with musical groups, pageants and harpist to town. I completed a summer programme in non-fiction at Humber School for Writers and completed one book under the assistance of Paul Quarrington in the year that followed. |
