Today, I'm the featured writer in Joan Dempsey's Gutsy Great Novelist Writers Studio. Here's my response to the question: When did you first realize you wanted to write a novel? Was there a particular person or experience that inspired you?

​My younger sisters' bedroom adjoined mine, with nightly consequences. I invented a communication code and taped it to the back walls of our side-by side closets. Long after we were supposed to be asleep, I'd go into the closet and communicate with them through a series of special knocks. Taking two flashlights, I crawled into the dark hallway and shone lights on the back wall of their bedroom. The wild, invented stories began. Often, they were inspired by a children's novel I'd just read. It was important to keep this a secret from our parents, who'd ruin all the fun if they knew!

Knock, knock. Time for a story.

I've had the wonderful opportunity to connect with talented authors from across Canada at the recent Canadian Authors Association Conference in Toronto this past week.  Pictured with me are some fellow writers, Jan, Sam, Karen and Roger from the Niagara Branch.   We participated in workshops led by accomplished authors, agent and publishing panels and writing circles.  Our Open Mic session gave us the opportunity to share with some of the best writers around.  I'm looking forward to following up with some new work I have cooking on the back burner.
