MY WRITING BIO


MY WRITING BIO

Here in this physical world, my poetry was first published by the Aldergrove Star (weekly newspaper) and then read on radio at CKWX in Vancouver, by the late Roy Jacques.  I also wrote a weekly column for the Aldergrove Star, in conjunction with my sale of subscriptions for that paper.  I’ve had personal articles published by The Province newspaper and short stories published by Eclectica Magazine and others by Polar Expressions, by Today’s Senior Newsmagazine, and other anthologies.  One story was published by the Petawawa Post in Ontario, and then online by the B.C. and Yukon Command of the Royal Canadian Legion. You can read this story, “The Making Of A Soldier – A Mother’s Perspective” at https://www.legionbcyukon.ca/news/our-blog

I have self-published two ebooks, “Fire” and “Love Found”, which can be found at www.kobobooks.com

Through the years I have written several newsletters for different groups.  From 2003 till 2019, I hosted the Ram’s Head Writers’ Group, which saw most members achieve some form of publication.  For that group, I wrote “The Review” after each meeting, to recap works read and news about the group.  It was posted as a blog which can be found at www.ramsheadwriters.blogspot.ca

In 2017, I was invited to read at a Lit CafĂ© held at Alexandra Neighbourhood House in Crescent Beach, Surrey, B.C.  Then Beyond The Border Storytelling Festival in Cardiff, Wales also invited me to read in 2018, but I was unable to attend.

Currently, my collection of true and mostly humorous short stories about life with my husband, called “Honey Signed The Waiver”, is looking for a publisher.  Three of these stories have been previously published and all thirty of them were read to The Ram’s Head Writers’ Group.

Since finishing “Honey Signed The Waiver”, I’ve written other short stories, some of them to do with Honey, and some that are murder mysteries.  That gives me a nice balance between good and evil.  J
