I have published fiction, essays, short stories,and literary criticism. Right now, I have six books in various stages of research and writing; three are fiction; two are literary studies, and one is a tome about the history of the corporation, which will probably encompass all my life in the writing.
I have received generous grants for fiction writing, and now work as a free-lance editor and full time author.
My two Masters degrees: in English Language and Literature, and in Library Science attest, if nothing else, to my self-discipline - or perhaps to a strong masochistic streak.
Having traveled Europe and the U.S., fallen in love with (and in) Paris and lived in Japan, I now make my home in Ontario, Canada.
I love cats as pets, and all animals as sentient creatures. I think this is why, when asked at around age nine the name of a hero, I answered "St. Francis of Asisi." (I also harbour a crush on a hybrid historical/fantasy Joan of Arc, but did not know that at age nine.)
I believe strongly in the sanctity of basic human rights, kindness, and Nature in all its life forms.
