About Me
I’m a multi-genre and multi-passionate author, writing coach, editor and storyteller. Probably best known for my inclusive aviation histories and picture books – I’m also working on memoir and book club fiction. I love getting lost in research, travelling, and going on adventures with my little family. It makes it all the sweeter when I’m reading fireside (or seaside) in my Nova Scotia, Canada home.
