I am a Canadian, originally from Hamilton, Ontario. I have also lived in Toronto, the Ottawa Valley, British Columbia, and am now living in Calgary, Alberta. I have studied sciences at McMaster University and anthropology at the University of Toronto and travelled across Canada, the U.S. and briefly to Mexico and the Caribbean. I have been writing seriously for twenty years, been an active member of writers’ groups and performed my work in public numerous times, twice on radio. I have written more than 100 poems, many short stories, and am presently working on a few novels while participating in literary websites.
