I wrote my first novel later in life, finally pursuing my own interests after our three daughters grew up and left home to create their own lives. A love for reading, a lifetime of writing epic letters and emails to my family and friends, and with time on my hands, I found a smorgasbord of online writing courses, eventually feeling confident enough to try writing a novel. I just self-published my fourth book. After six years of living in a motor home, traveling to the Yukon to spend the gold mining season in the middle of nowhere, and winters in the Okanagan, my husband and I settled on Vancouver Island to be near our first grandchild. The adventures continue as we explore our new home and view the world through our granddaughter's eyes.
