Discovering the extraordinary in the ordinary

Picture

Many literary and arts events scheduled for 2020 have been cancelled or postponed. In the meanwhile, I'm busy writing and painting. Looking forward to getting back to public circulation when it's safe to do so.

Stay healthy, everyone! 

Breaking news... my YA novel, The Sound of a Rainbow, just won the 2020 Quarantine Edition of the Muskoka Novel Marathon!  I'm over the rainbow with excitement! Many thanks to the hard working executive who came up with creative solutions to allow this 19 year traditional event to 'virtually' continue.
