Hello

Why Mixed Metaphor? Isn't that something to be avoided?

To that I say: Life is messy. Humans are contradictory. Straight lines are boring.​

​My professional life has taken me behind the scenes at Canada's oldest museum. I've directed the incomparable (and sweet) John Fiedler for a Winnie-the-Pooh interactive product I wrote and designed. I've transcribed hours and hours of TV documentary audio while an old dog farted under my desk. I crafted sell sheets and catalogues for international TV markets. And spent 15 long (long) years writing speeches for politicians.

​It's always been writing. And in my mind and heart, all leading to screenwriting. 

​I write textured, character-driven stories with a social conscience. My focus is adaptation and biography—stories of misfits and dissidents who must break out of the boxes people put them in, in order to change the world and in the process, change themselves.

I’m the single mom of a feisty, smart young adult whose desire to make change in our world fuels my work on the page.
