I love the ordinary moments.
I celebrate everyday things.
They are too often lost in the race for something grand. I hold dear our humdrum routines. These accumulating hours make up our lifetimes and when we remember, it is always the simplest of pleasures that make us happy. These are the memories I create in my books.
Hubby and I were raised in Montreal, but have lived in the same house in rural Cape Breton for forty-five years. It remains a sanctuary for our children and pets, both living and remembered. My writing began as an exercise in trying to understand my world and quickly became something that brought me joy. I dearly love my family, my little granddaughters Gia Elizabeth and Anna Moon, all creatures great and small, children’s books, and breathing in the wild ocean air.
Also, raisin tea biscuits.
