Who am I and why should you care?

I'm a writer and have been since I saw Siobhan Riddell's storybook of St. George and the Dragon when I was in grade three (and she was in grade five).

The first books I chose to read were C.S. Lewis's Narnia series, Lloyd Alexander's Prydain Chronicles, Madeleine L'Engle's Time Trilogy, and Susan Cooper's The Dark is Rising series.

It should be no surprise to you that after brief success as a poet and short story writer, I'm now writing science fiction and fantasy, both short fiction and novels.

I like to share the Writerly Goodness :)

Tipsdays are my writing curation posts.

Thoughty Thursday covers any non-writng curation for the previous week. The intent is to offer creative people interesting ideas to stimular their works in progress.

Weekends will be for conference or convention reportage monthly updates on my works in progress, and other points of interest in this writer's life.

I hope you'll find something of interest to support your creative life.
