About this author

I've written two novels, both of which deal in one way or another with fossils. I can't explain this. I never studied science, although I did go on several digs while researching for Curiosity. Before starting to write fiction, I worked as a teacher, editor, and book reviewer for the Globe and Mail. My husband and I live on the banks of the Red River and have one adult daughter.

My website provides lots of information and pictures about the background to Curiosity. I'd love to hear from readers through my website.
