I was born on June 13, 1970. I know that year may seem pretty ancient to most of you, but it only makes me 37yrs old. That probably seems old too. But at least I'm not a 100 or something really old like that!

I grew up in Regina Saskatchewan. And this paragraph isn't very exciting because it consists of classes and credits. We'll just move on.

In my spare time I like to read. And yes I love to read children's books. I love Harry Potter (who doesn't?) but there are other children's books I equally like. I think my most favourite author would have to be Judy Blume. I remember curling up under my covers with a flashlight and reading pages after pages until I could no longer keep my eyes open. I went to bed with Judy Blume every night.

My favourite children's book now is "The Anybodies".

I like to hang out with my friends and family. I like to swim, sail, go to movies, go to the beach, play tennis. I pretty much like to do anything new and exciting.

I am a hockey mom which sometimes makes me loud and annoying and I like to brag about my children like every other mom out there does! That's why we are called moms!

In my quieter moments I sit down at my computer and write. These are the times that I really let my imagination run wild. My characters slowly become such a huge part of my daily life they burst their way into my psyche and become my second family. A little strange. Yes. But I think you have to be slightly demented (in a good creative way) to be a writer. If you know anyone who is demented and they are not writers, don't hang out with them.

That's pretty much me in a nut shell. A little nutty, but then again aren't we all. That's what makes us so intriguing The nutty parts about ourselves.
