I’m a senior citizen who’s enjoying every moment of retirement. I read, write, garden in season, volunteer at Animatch, a dog rescue, and have learned how to make soap. Even though it has finally been confirmed that I possess little to no musical talent, I continue to practice the piano with help from Bill Hilton on YouTube.

Story Behind My Book

Annabeth came to life around fifteen years ago in a creative writing course at Concordia. The assignment was to write a short story, but I don’t remember where I got the idea of writing a ghost story. Sometimes these things just pop into your head, and It’s usually a good idea to run with them.

At the end of the course, the professor, Ellen Greene, told me it was good and that I should keep working on it and make it longer.  I did this, and a couple of years later, Mark Abley, Writer in Residence in Pointe-Claire at the time, told me the same thing. Over the years, I worked on it sporadically, sending it out, getting rejected, then working on it again.

Fast forward to today. Annabeth and Gillian have found a home with The Three Little Sisters Publishing. And during the editing process, I worked on it again and made it even longer.
