About me
When I was a child, I told myself stories to escape reality and plot adventures. As an adult, I use my words to explore, find, and connect to a deeper reality.
I have published six books, fiction and nonfiction, four of which won awards, and all received considerable critical and academic attention. I was also inducted into the City of Edmonton’s Cultural and Arts Hall of Fame.
