Hello!

I am a children’s writer with a passion for promoting literacy. With my stories, I hope to foster a love of reading in children.

When I am not writing, I can often be found at my local library, checking out as many books as I can carry. I also love to dance, practice Kung Fu Fan, volunteer at an elementary school, and spend time with family and friends. I live with my husband in Ottawa, Ontario.

Fun Facts

My favorite colours are blue and pink, which are coincidentally Floof's colours!
I love playing Catan and other board games even though I rarely win.
My favorite foods are soups and salads . . . and more salads.
As a child, I would check out as many books from the library as I could carry on my 15-minute walk back home.
I don't have any pets, but if I did, I'd have a fluffy, cuddly cat.
