I’m a storyteller, author, speaker and writing coach. I’m also a nature lover and photographer, an activist and community organizer.  A daughter, wife, grandmother, step-mom, dog-lover, hiker, kayaker, gardener, traveler, listener, and friend. And so much more than even this.

I’m also a seeker of truth, gatherer of stories, purveyor of words in a world that is changing far too fast.

We’re all beautifully multi-dimensional, aren’t we?

You’ll find me on the fringe of moose, bear and coyote country, along the south-eastern New Brunswick shores of the magical Bay of Fundy, not far from Moncton, NB. A land where gentle, worn-down mountains slope to emerald marshes. It’s a pretty phenomenal place to find yourself. (In more ways than one.)

I write about people and their relationship to place…their history and habits, fascinations and pursuits. I also write about environment, conservation and culture…all inherent to Atlantic Canada. Words have been my living for over twenty-five years now.

I do this on the unceded homeland of the resilient Mi’kmaq (People of the Dawnland), the Wolastoqiyik (People of the Beautiful River), and the Peskotomuhkati (People who spear Pollack); the original inhabitants of the eastern colonial land now called the Province of New Brunswick. Their names reveal their foundational attachment to place, and their dedication to caring for and honouring their home informs my own worldview and actions, reminding me of my responsibilities to walk softly, and to preserve and protect.
