About

I live in Port Coquitlam, BC with my husband of 4 years. I have been writing for children for the past 8 years. UBC writing centre, SCBWI and my children's writers list serve have been very instrumental in my pursuit of excellent writing for children. Because of the Moon is my first full length young adult novel. I accredit my Irish background and Canadian upbrining for my sense of humor.

Story Behind The Book

I was tired of reading sad books for teens so I wrote "Because of the Moon" to show the funny side of living in a coastal Indian village. I have lived near First Nations people my whole life but really knew very little about them. This was my chance to learn about the culture and people whose land I live on but present it in a humour manner.
