About

I acknowledge with gratitude that my writing studio is on the traditional territory of the Island Hul'q'umin'um' speaking Snuneymuxw First Nation.
Want to learn more? I recommend Indigenous Writes: A Guide to First Nations, Métis, and Inuit issues in Canada by Chelsea Vowel, as a place to start.

I Write.

I love exploring fears and joys and all the tiny moments in between, and how capital-H Heart guides us on the journey through it all.

That's journal writing in Connemara, Ireland's Atlantic coast.

What you seek is seeking you.

I Love Dogs.

On January 30, 2013, I said goodbye to my rottweiler, Monty, and in July 2014, he directed me to Halifax, Nova Scotia where I found and adopted my second Heart-dog, Lucy ...both are inspirations for my second book, The Space Between Dogs.

I Run. I Hike. I Walk.

Running, hiking and walking with my dog gets me into my head, and out of my head, and long, flat beaches, seaside or forest walks and long-distance coastal hikes are my favorite places to be. That's the Lycian Way in Turkey.

They say there is a doorway from heart to heart but,
what is the use of a door when there are no walls.

I Eat Plant-based.

For over 35 years, I've been drawn to plant-based eating for all the health, ethical and environmental reasons. A strawberry from the garden? Yes please.

I Explore.

Second-hand bookstores in new cities, secret trails to private beaches, road trips across countries or camp spots around the world. That's Northern Ireland.
