Member Since
June 2016


Having recently retired from a career spanning environmental consulting, learning and development, and change management, Brenda is embracing life as an author of historical fiction. A produced playwright, acrylic artist, avid gardener, and community theatre set designer, Brenda has a weakness for potato chips (there are only two kinds: a full bag and an empty bag), is a sucker for a happy ending and literally finds story ideas in the dirt.  
 
Brenda and her husband have a wonderful son, live in Halifax with their 14-year-old Basset Fauve de Bretagne, Twig, and can frequently be found birdwatching and exploring the shores of Big Island, Nova Scotia.
 
Mrs. Walford is Brenda’s first novel, and she's working on her second.
