As a writer, I am intrigued by the results of life's random and unexpected events and how they can echo down through the generations. Digging into the past has led to the discovery of a wealth of fascinating people, places, and events, and a desire to tell some of their stories. The ones having to do with my native Canada are the ones I am most passionate about.

While well-intentioned, the efforts in securing good homes for the children in need were quite unsuccessful for most of the children involved.(less)

Topics Mentioning This Author

Henry Adams
“Chaos often breeds life, when order breeds habit.”
Henry Adams

Jane Austen
“There is nothing I would not do for those who are really my friends. I have no notion of loving people by halves, it is not my nature.”
Jane Austen, Northanger Abbey

I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control
“I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.”
Marilyn Monroe

Tom Wolfe
“You never realize how much of your background is sewn into the lining of your clothes.”
Tom Wolfe

Steve Wozniak
“If you love what you do and are willing to do what it takes, it's within your reach. And it'll be worth every minute you spend alone at night, thinking and thinking about what it is you want to design or build. It'll be worth it, I promise.”
Steve Wozniak
