About

Writing is a passion and an important outlet in my life.  I was born in Belgium, immigrated to South Africa where I lived for fifteen years, before finally settling in Toronto, Canada.  As the saying goes, ‘Life is a journey,’ and I try to use all of my varied experiences and exposure to diverse cultures to enrich my writing. 

 

 

 

Another passion in my life is a deep love of animals.  Mysterious and mystical felines are especially close to my heart, and I use my writing to bring awareness to their issues.  The importance of spaying/neutering and support of animal rescue organizations are causes I champion as often as I can.

 

 

 

 

My book entitled, Kitten Diaries is now available on-line.  It contains two ‘almost’ true and humorous kitten adventure tales.  Chanel’s Story opens the book and is about my wonderful cat, Chanel, and her version of when I adopted her from an animal shelter.  Queeny’s Diary is little Queeny’s story of when she is left with friends - and a houseful of other cats - while her owners go on vacation.    

 

 

 

 

My next two projects will be children’s stories with cats and even a ferret as characters, followed by an expose of temporary workers in the workplace.  If you think you know what it means to have a temporary job, think again. 

 

 

 

 

My son and I live with our five cats and three fish.  When not writing, I enjoy reading and ten-pin bowling.

Description

<p>FBI agent Alexis Toles is dispatched to New Rochelle, New York, to investigate threatening letters sent to Congressman Christopher O’Brien, and to protect his ex-wife, Cassidy, and six-year-old son, Dylan. But when she gets to New Rochelle, Alex discovers that there is more to the situation than simple stalking or political agendas; she finds that she has growing romantic feelings for Cassidy—and that the feelings are mutual.</p><p>As Alex and Cassidy explore their budding romance, they must surmount many obstacles in explaining their relationship to those around them, including Dylan. All the while, the investigation continues, and the disturbing, convoluted, and complicated web surrounding the threats begins to unravel, placing the characters’ lives in grave danger.</p><p><i>Intersection</i> is a taut political thriller that combines the action and suspense found in hit television shows like <i>24</i> with the insight and drama found in the widely popular fiction of LGBT authors such as R. E. Bradshaw and Stacey D’Erasmo. It is sure to appeal to fans of intrigue, mystery, and romance, and to provide positive role models for marginalized groups and relationships.</p>
