GREAT NEWS: I'm over the moon to announce that my short story "Jack Pine" has been nominated by The Maine Review for a 2021 Pushcart Prize!
As I query literary agents with my debut novel, I am working on a third novel. The road to publication continues!
In the midst of writing, we have now moved to beautiful Prince Edward County on the shores of Lake Ontario. I've made sure that I have a good writing spot😉
