about me

Hmmm. Let's see. Well, I'm an event planning, country living, freelance writer that loves to garden, cook and read (of course). I have a dog and two cats and am (always) in the process of renovating my old country house. Since I have 3 1/2 acres, I spend a lot of time mowing the lawn or fixing something.

Although I've probably been paid to write in one way or another for 20 years ... things like the script for the M.C.'s of the Canadian athlete's party at the Nagano Olympics ... or for news anchors hosting the opening of the National Trade Centre in Toronto, it wasn't till I sold articles to magazines that I ever dreamed I might actually be able to write for a living.

And of course, that still hasn't happened.

I stilll have to produce shows - or Stage Manage - or book talent and organize logistics to pay the bills. However, a recent employer, while unceremoniously ushering me out the door suggested nicely, that perhaps I should write a book. So, thought I'd give it a whirl.

After going to a critque session, and reading some of the comments placed on this site (thank you all!) I am now on my second go-through of the book. I've posted the new and improved first 6 chapters. To say it's a work in progress is putting things mildly.

I don't ask anyone to back or read my book - but I hope they will anyway. If I back your book, I will read at least a chapter (sometimes more) and do my best to comment if I have anything constructive to say. It would be great if you feel so inclined to do the same ... but hey, I completely realize that, after going through dozens of books on here ... commenting may be the last thing on your list of things you want to do.

I've seen some really talented writing on here. I wish everyone luck in their quest to get published ... or just to become better writers.
