Biography

I was born in a small town in New Zealand and lived in that country until 1966.My husband and I came to Canada with 2 children and added a third as a Centennial project. I taught various aspects of the English language at Sheridan College until I took early retirement. My goal since then has been to establish a writing career, read as many books as possible and keep the weeds out of my gardens.
