BIO
Biography
I’m a recovering / retired professor of architecture who has been rediscovering my love of writing through work on a memoir as part of an MFA in Creative Nonfiction degree at the University of King's College. My fictional interest lies in the criminal use of collapsing buildings, with the second in a series, Overload, currently underway. Previous degrees include a Bachelor’s in Civil Engineering and a Master’s in Architecture, both from the University of Calgary.
I enjoy living next to the woods on the western edge of Calgary, AB Canada with my family, two cats and two bunnies. As a former glider pilot, I also scan the sky for good lift, the jet stream, and storms.
