About this title

About the Author:

Born in Welland and raised in Parry Sound Ontario Canada. Spend most of my time with my husband of 28 years at our 6 rescue dogs at our villa in Cabarete, Dominican Republic. I have 3 younger brothers, 3 sons and 5 grand children all living in the south western Ontario region. When I'm not writing or working on the website, I stay busy volunteering with a group called "Dogs and Cats of the Dominican Republic" I especially enjoy doing community outreach into the poorer areas where we can really make a difference for the people and their pets. We get back to Canada once a year to visit and catch up with family and friends. Our door is always open for them to escape the great white north during those long winter months and we look very forward to their visits. Looking forward to writing more books on palm trees in the future.
