Her short stories "Sundowning" and "The Art of the Scarf" appeared in You Look Good for Your Age (2021); "The Point of Failure" appeared in Qwerty (winter 2019); and "Secret Workings" was published in Phoebe (winter 2020).

A proud mother of three sons, she lives in Quw'utsun (Cowichan) on Vancouver Island with her husband and soulmate.view less
