Background

I am a life-long New Brunswicker committed to setting my fiction in the province. I have visited numerous schools since the publication of my first novel and I love to inspire students to be creative. I am also a textile artist (quilter). I can speak/offer workshops on both creative writing and quilting.

What I Offer

I am happy to offer interactive enrichment workshops to get students to add detail and interest to their fiction. This is best for Grades 4-6. For Grades 6-8, I can offer interactive enrichment workshops (or for full classes) on the topic of editing and improving writing of any type. As a quilter, for Grades 1-8, I am happy to offer “trunk shows” (like a show and tell) of the quilts from my books and talk about the idea generation and design process.
