About me

I  live in rural Nova Scotia, where I'm a retired librarian. I've been a reader since the day I decoded Green Eggs and Ham, and have not looked back. I love living near the ocean, and will put my feet in just about any water, even if it is bone-chilling cold. 

I grew up in the US, in Kentucky and Tennessee, and have lived in New Mexico, Georgia, and Oregon. In New Mexico, I lived on a school bus that was converted into a house. It was on repeated visits to the Oregon coast that the idea for Threshold  began, over 20 years ago! My husband Caleb &  I moved to Nova Scotia in 2005, and  have loved exploring the province, finding many out-of-the-way places where mermaids might hide. Plus, living in Canada, I get to use that extra U in words. Humour me! 

I enjoy painting on cardboard, making collages, and arranging sea treasure. I love glitter, but am saddened by the environmental impact of traditional glitter. I like to work with colour; a blank wall or white space gives me shivers.  I also love to sew my own clothes and make quilts, as well as make mixed media art with fabric. 

I believe that more pretty things need to fill our lives.
