Born, raised and enjoying life in Canada – I love being Canadian!

Writing Bug
My passion for writing and illustrating has led me to self-publish three children’s books and start my own personal blog.

I am currently working on a fiction novel based on true-life events from my parents and grandmother’s lives, as well as a vegan cookbook for quick and healthy eating.

Inspiration for my Canadian adventure books

My Canadian themed children’s adventure books were inspired by my 2017 visit to Bruce Peninsula National Park in Ontario.  Bruce Peninsula is a true beauty to behold!  I remember walking excitedly upon the vast expanse of rounded white rocks while balancing myself.

I stopped for a moment.  When I lifted up my head, I saw the most breathtaking, dream-like body of water in front of me. Countless shades of blue sparkled and challenged me to look away. I could not! MY LIFE WAS NEVER THE SAME AFTER THAT…

In 2017, Canada celebrated its 150th anniversary and allowed free entry into its National Parks. After I visited both Bruce Peninsula and experienced a relaxing canoe ride in Point Pelee’s swamp land (Point Pelee National Park), my imagination woke up from its deep sleep.  It was so exhilarating to feel the creative juices flowing again! And so here we are now. I often find myself wanting to scream out, “MY BRAIN IS ALIVE!”  But then, people would find me weird.

Schedule a book reading in your school

I really enjoy giving back to the community and spending time interacting with children in an educational setting. I have hosted several in-school book readings to date. My book reading includes the reading of My Great Canadian Adventures and explores topics of anti-bullying, self-empowerment, my love of Canada and the environment.

Parents/Schools: If you are interested in having me in your school for a book reading, please contact me through my contact form.
