Going at my own pace these days. 💜
Not rushing the process--that doesn't work for me, anyway. Lol!
Creating, healing, writing—on my timeline.
We’re all on our own path. That’s the point! 💫

This is a very personal essay on my journey through childhood trauma & #mentalillness to a place of peace and faith. I talk about Darwin the donkey & my struggles with trusting God.

As days shorten & grow colder I'm reminded of how fortunate I am to have a safe home. I don't often shout out my own books but #teachers #librarians & #parents have told me #LilyAndThePaperMan is a good conversation starter about about those experiencing #homelessness. #kidlit #canadiankidlit #pb

I haven’t written anything recently, thanks mostly to the persistent rejections of publishers, but this is my first YA novel released in 2013. I have 2 others since.
I hope this qualifies me for this list. #Canadiankidlit #yalit #canadianlit

Still trying to learn Bluesky and posting but hope my fellow Canadians will be able to see me ☺️ #canadiankidlit
Hi BlueSky👋.1st post ☺️
Thought I’d share a new character that I started developing a couple of days ago.
Quinn: an only child, loves reading, drawing, no pets but wants one. Does have a neighbourhood cat that likes to curl up with her under her favourite tree. That’s all I know about her so far.
