About

I grew up in the Ottawa-Gatineau region in Canada but am currently living in Edmonton, Alberta with my husband, toddler, and pets.

I have History degrees from McGill and the University of British Columbia. I’m on the Board of Directors (and immediate Past-President) of the Canadian Aviation Historical Society and a member of the Writers’ Union of Canada, the Writers Guild of Alberta and the Creative Nonfiction Collective among other organizations.

When I’m not researching and writing, I enjoy travelling, hiking, yoga, and watching t.v. crime dramas.

If you’d like to learn more about me and my adventures in life and on the page, please check out my blog. You can also check out my profile in the Alberta Writers Directory.
