I write as catharsis to move thoughts, worries, and ideas out of my head on to paper. When cobbled together, I realized they formed stories about relationships between women of all ages. This sparked the Women of Beckerville series.
I honed my craft (and am still honing) with organizations like the Alexander Writer’s Center at www.alexandrawriters.org and The Bestseller Academy at www.Bestsellerexperiment.com. Both provided learning and support. I am grateful to them for their impact on my skills and the way I think about writing.
A Mother’s Gift, my first novel, was published in October 2021.
My second novel, A Mother’s Treasure, is published in June 2024.
A third book, A Mother’s Heart will follow in late 2024.
Seems the town of Beckerville has more than one story about its women.
I live in southern Alberta, near the Rocky Mountains. I have spent most of my life near those mountains, they are a fixture out the windows. The mountains ground and replenish my soul. Besides writing, I spend my time with family, friends, other author’s books, and road trips in my RV or car.
