About the Author

I have written many songs and poems over the last twenty years, but I never believed I could write a novel; however, the desire was always there. I have always been an avid reader and was often complimented by my teachers in school, on my short stories. When you do believe, anything you can dream is possible! I was born in the town of Gander, Newfoundland in 1956. When I was four years old my family moved to Goose Bay, Labrador. We resided there for the next eleven years until my family moved to Clarke’s Head, Newfoundland, where this story takes place. In 1978, I moved to Alberta where I have lived for the last 35 years. Although Alberta is a great place to live, I long for the east coast and hope to move back there one day soon. My other passions are family and music!
