  <about><![CDATA[I'm currently working on my fifth novel, which is Book 3 in &quot;The Muskoka Novels&quot; series. As a former history teacher, my mandate is to enlighten as well as entertain by weaving compelling stories around meticulously researched facts.
    So I've been thrilled with the response from readers, who have made comments like &quot;You have created a masterpiece. I loved every moment...&quot; and &quot;I haven't been that emotionally invested in a story in many years.&quot; More comments can be seen on my website, where signed books can also be ordered online at http://www.mindshadows.com/publishing/order.htm
     Not being able to leave all my extensive research on the Great War behind, I've created a website of quirky facts about the war, and have listed my bibliography and relevant websites. Visit http://4yearsofww1.info
     I am a founding member and Vice President of the Independent Authors &amp; Illustrators of Canada, for which I'm also volunteer webmaster  - http://www.IAICanada.org . We invite other independent Canadian authors to join our organization, so go online and check us out.
    I'm a graduate of the University of Toronto, with an Honours B.Sc. and a B.Ed. in the social sciences and English.
