About:
An avid reader, amateur psychologist and unrestrained philosopher, careers in opticianry and equestrianism paid my way through life. I have always written, and spent a decade on the Toronto poetry scene. Completed works include two feature length screenplays, a lot of poetry and one book of it, my memoirs in the dressage world, a novel set in 800 A.D. on the Eurasian steppe, and a photo-biography of my cat, For Love of Leo, available on Amazon. Founder of The Moving Finger open stage in Newmarket, and of The King's Feet Underground Sound & Literary Festival. Co-founder of WriteNow!@King writer's group. Editor of Timeless Tales Anthology as a director of Arts Society King. Several new works in progress...two biographies, a novelization of a screenplay, and the final draft of Horses of the Sun (the historical novel). Addicted to self-editing, I am willing to be published posthumously. Happy writing everyone!

About:
The most successful and pleasurable writing comes from being in a state of wonder. Finding that fine balance between will and surrender; between skill and letting the pen run free is when magic happens. Sometimes in my writing, I feel as if I have no pants on. If I feel comfortable and well-dressed, I know I haven't been honest enough for the words to matter. Brilliant, out-of-the box mentors such as Donna Morrissey, Sue Reynolds, Pat Schneider, Barbara Turner-Vesselago, and Jack Grapes, have helped me go ‘fearward’ in my writing. By providing feedback that encourages rather than criticizes, The Amherst Writers & Artists method of workshop facilitation has created a safe place for me to develop craft and take creative risks. As a settler married to an Ojibwe man and with whom I have a son, my experiences with that culture colour much of my work. My novels, creative non-fiction, and short stories, written from a settler point of view, often include Indigenous characters.
