​​​A Little About Me

​

Born and raised in Toronto, Canada, I have spent over half my life in Perth, forging a long career in professional writing and editing. Over the years I have covered diverse subject matter and evolving formats, from print to screen to digital. ALong the way I have entertained various ideas for creative writing projects of my own, but it was not until 2009 that I was able to pursue any of them to fruition.

​

Enrolling in a creative writing program at Curtin University, I completed a PhD project comprising an historical novel and thesis. My PhD accreditation opened the door to a new career path at Curtin as a tutor in professional and creative writing units.

​

For me, the road to published authorship has been a long one.  To other writers out there who feel it's taking too long to make their dream of becoming a published author a reality - practice your craft, read widely and dan't let age become a barrier.

 

All writers need some help o bring their ideas to the printed page, and I'm no exception. Thanks to the wonderful team at Ventura Press, I have made it to the final leg of my publishing journey. Now, here I am, with my novel, Be a Good Girl, Valerie, available in print and e-book formats from July 2025.
