I live in Northwestern Ontario on the shores of Lake Superior, Canada’s largest lake and the second-largest lake in the world. I was born and raised in Scotland, and what I miss most are the mountains, so I am lucky we have the Norwester Mountains flanking Lake Superior. I love living in the north.

I’ve had a long career in and out of publishing: Magazine editor, freelance editor, newspaper general manager, professional storyteller, copywriter, and writer.

Nowadays, you can usually find me playing my Celtic harp or writing books in the Dragonish series. Read a Dragonish sample short story from my 2016 fantasy anthology, “Tales of Mist and Magic: How Granny Maberly Stopped a War and Other Flash Stories” (available at Amazon.com).
