My ideas come from the life I live and the experiences I have. Every story has a message. As you read my stories to your children, you will experience how words express joy, imagination and take you on a journey.

Throughout my life I have always persevered and worked hard to learn new skills. My optimism has carried me through all challenges. By this process I have discovered that my voice for writing is for children’s books for ages 3 to 9.

I live with my very supportive husband, Mike, my study buddy Mocha. We live in Nanaimo BC. Canada and enjoy our lives together.

“This is such a lovely story. It is a great tool for families learning how to navigate dementia. Well done.”

David Wallsteadt

“Having journeyed with family members who suffered from dementia, I greatly appreciate and recommend this book. Too often, dementia is still hidden away behind closed doors. This book recognizes a great opportunity for love and care when family members share in this experience with their affected loved one. Far from needing to be shielded from this illness, children can understand and bring much-needed laughter, joy, and shared memories.”
