Biography

The Holiday Series is a Walt Disney type of series geared towards all ages of horse lovers. "One Frosty Christmas", "The Great Pumpkin Ride", and "A Filly Called Easter" are Canadian bestsellers with over 20,000 copies sold in four years - mostly by word of mouth and a lot of miles on my truck. "One Frosty Christmas" and "A Filly Called Easter" are currently under option to Hollywood for Movies of the Week. They are expected to go into production in 2012.

"Gumboots, Gumshoes & Murder" departs into the world of mystery/black comedy, and is the first book in my new Gumboot & Gumshoe Series. It revolves around RCMP Sergeant Betty Bruce and her pot-bellied pig, Gertrude, as they become embroiled in a series of bizarre deaths on a not-so-sleepy little west coast island. "Gumboots" was based on an original screenplay that I optioned to Hollywood in 2009/2010.
