My latest book "[email protected]"
Anna has a secure job at a bank and is pretty much content with her life as it is. She has only one goal—to quit her job and become a freelance writer. An interview with a Saskatchewan farmer/cowboy for a writing assignment brings change and her family as she knows it begins to come apart at the seams. The secrets and lies from her past produce more chaos. How will she handle the turmoil and the new revelations? Can she take a chance on something she thought was never meant to be?

The leap for a Saskatchewan farm girl to cyberspace is monstrous. I have lived my entire life in Saskatchewan - born at Denzil, attended the U of S and have lived at Nipawin since. Even though I have traveled through much of Canada, into the United States and even Europe a couple times, I've not found a place where I would rather live. There is something about the feel of Saskatchewan that is not found elsewhere. It's an experience I would highly recommend.
My first attempt at writing and publishing was a cookbook. My family and friends were always asking me for recipes, so I compiled my favorites into a book, which I thought would make a nice gift. The project took on a life of its own and I published it. Cooking Country Style was re-printed four times. A few years ago I decided to update it and add 67 more recipes for a new version of the cookbook. Since then I have published a second cookbook – Seasons of Plenty – A Cookbook Celebrating the Holidays. Most of my writing, fiction and non-fiction, has been published in Canadian magazines and papers.
Ready Or Not was my first novel. It is set in Saskatchewan with real characters that are believable. Next was a book of humorous short stories, Mishaps and Misfortunes, loosely based on actual events. My latest book, [email protected] is a novel, also set in Saskatchewan and labeled contemporary fiction.

I have been an avid reader all my life. It was my way of discovering the world in which I lived. The spirit of adventure and the yearning to explore are traits I have inherited from my pioneer ancestors. The most well-used book in our family is a world atlas. So, my passion for travel and genealogy has evolved naturally. They rank right up there at the top of my list of favorite-things-to-do along with baseball.
