About Author

About My Writing

"I think I was born to tell stories! I believe that books, and the words we speak, have the power to positively change the world."

"I don't choose my stories or characters, they choose me! Sometimes they seem to have a life of their own and I'm just the one who agrees to write.

I have oodles more children's and YA stories written and waiting for their turn to shine."

A Bit About Me

I'm a lover of trees, bees, and summer sunsets. I'm so grateful for the life I share with my husband and family on the West Coast of BC, Canada.

I love creating yummy meals, that make guests say, "No way, this is vegan?"

Yes, my middle and last name are the same. How writingly awesome is that?

I'm also a speaker, holistic health practitioner, and ADHD Thrive Coach. I love helping ADHD kids claim their neuro-brilliance and live their best life (without meds).

FAQ'S

What kind of books do you enjoy writing the most?

I've written a lot of self-help material for my ADHD THRIVE clients but storytelling is where my heart is happiest.

I have 3 self-published children's picture books and 47 more already written, living inside my computer demanding to be set free! They're a noisy bunch!

I have a YA novel ready to publish and a few others in the works, including a memoir I'm working on (it turns out I've had a wild and unusual life!)

Email me and tell me what you love to do!

Did you have a favourite book as a child?

I did! It was Margureite Henry's, 'Mustang, Wild Spirit of the West'.

That book about Wild Horse Annie, transformed my life! I knew in that moment that I wanted to be an author and change kids lives, the way she changed mine.

Where can I buy your books?

My books are available as print on demand on the major platforms like Amazon, Barnes & Noble, etc.

You can also purchase them as e-books if you want to save the life of a tree (that's a cause that's dear to my heart).

I'm looking into audiobook format for those who prefer to listen.

Unless you want to meet for coffee (I drink only herbal tea, in case you're wondering)!

Can I stay updated on your new releases?

For sure! Find me on social media and let's connect! I'd love to get to know who you are and what you love!

Would you like to be one of my Reading Heroes? You'll get first look at any new books, some cool perks and you can give me feedback and an honest review at: [email protected]. In the subject line write: Make Me a Reading Hero!

How can leave a review?

Reviews are wonderful! They help get the love and empowering message that I weave into each book, into the hands and hearts of more readers.

Platforms like Goodreads, Amazon, (wherever you purchased the book), as well as personal blogs and/or your social media pages are great review spots.

If you buy my books from a physical bookstore please email me your review to: [email protected]

Is there a book club or fan group I can join?
