The last published story that I wrote is actually A Poem that Changed a Village a Long, Long Time Ago, even though it was one of the first three to be sent to print in December 2014. The last three in the series were printed in August 2015.

A Poem that Changed a Village a Long, Long Time Ago was inspired by people talking badly about one another and spreading hurtful rumors. The two poems in the story came to me before the actual story did. Shortly after I wrote the poems, I was inspired to write the story that would encourage people to be respectful to one another and to one's self. The questions at the end of the story help us to reflect on certain situations and on ourselves. I have received many complimentary comments on this story and on the reflections at the end.

Smashwords helps promote the books all over the World. A friend helped me a great deal to get the books on Smashwords and I find it easy to manage.

I felt that the messages in my series 'The Adventures of the Virtuous Earth Angels' needed to reach many in a shorter period than it would have taken to go through an established publishing company. I was encouraged to get the messages out into the public as soon as I could; so I did just that. I am happy I did so. Even thought it was (is) a lot of work, it has been rewarding.

I was born in New-Brunswick. I lived there until I was thirteen when my family moved to Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. I enjoyed listening to stories, like the Bedtime stories series when I was very young. When I was able to read, I liked the Archie comics and Nancy Drew books. Later in life when I had my own children, I always had in mind that I would write a story. Little did I know that I would write and publish a full series.

I started writing in November 2013 in respons to a provincial contest for a Christmas story.

It is such a great learning experience and very fulfilling! I is wonderful to hear that so many enjoy the stories and that children ask me to write more of them.

It is touching to have fans. I appreciate that they get something out of stories that I have written.

I do have a couple of stories that I have written. They are just in the beginning stages. One is for very young children and the other can be great for youth and adolescents.

I have a wonderful family and I teach grade 3 students; both keep life very interesting. I enjoy living my life, including spending time with friends and learning to play the guitar.
