Hello, I’m glad you’re here.

Let me tell you a bit about myself. I’ve always loved creating stories. I think writing gets me through my daily battle with Cystic Fibrosis – a genetic disease that affects my lungs, pancreas, and sinuses.

I’m an author of romance and paranormal stories. Founder of ColorfulPen.com, I also contribute to Wordsilly.com and other sites. My non-fiction articles have appeared a number of times in Vision: A resource for Writers, published by, A Conspiracy of Authors.

Cold Table, my first prize short story was published in a collection by, The Hamilton Mountain Writers Guild of which I’m a member. Here is a link to a short interview podcast with Mark Newman about Cold Table 

In addition to being a writer and blogger, I’m interested in marketing and communications, and I’m currently taking Marketing at McMaster University.

Having this blog allows me to explore writing with you.
