Introducing Myself

I Ghosted, but I’ve Come Slinking Back

Greetings from Vancouver Island.

I haven’t been here on Medium for two years, and I have to say, it’s nice to be back.

I’m not sure why I ghosted, but now that I’ve ditched my “socials,” I feel fired to write. (On January 1st, I began 365 days of Social Media Silence…no Insta, Facebook, or TikTok.

You can follow my journey on my blog if you want to see if I die in a pile or crush this experiment!

I am a big fan of writers sharing stories with other writers, seasoned craft veterans, and those just starting. Overall, writers are a pretty supportive bunch, and no matter what our level of wordsmithery, it’s nice to have each other’s backs.

Writing has always been my schtick, and I’m lucky to have had three award-winning books for young people published with Rondale Press, as well as four self-published novels.

When I’m not writing, I’m producing audiobooks as an audiobook narrator in a funky little purple booth at the back of my house. It’s really gratifying to bring other people’s stories to life — such an honour.
