Smashwords Interview

Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?
I grew up in many locations which include Winnipeg Manitoba, Barrie Ontario, Mirimichi New Brunswick and Baden Baden Germany. I guess it's no coincidence that many of my characters are travellers of some kind.
When did you first start writing?
I have been a lover of words and books as long as I can remember. Even before I learned how to print as a young child I ‘pretended’ to write. There was something magical about putting a pen or pencil to paper and just going through the motions of making squiggles. As a child I wrote short stories which are long since gone, but serious writing didn’t start until the eighties when I began my first novel.
