About this author

edit data

I'm a bit of a Coca-Cola addict, philosophical enthusiast, punctuation activist, vinyl mourner, geek defender and nature lover. I explore life in the Greater Toronto area in a bubble of ambitious imagination with my two teenage sons, a free-loading cat named Kitty Purry and an imaginary Great Dane named John Henry.

I'm currently hunkered down scribbling out book two of the series, the elm coat.
