I'm a non-fiction writer with a B.A. Honours in English literature. My graduate work was in Medieval English literature.
I live in Regina, the capital city of the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. I've lived in Saskatchewan all my life; I grew up in small towns around Regina (I think of Strasbourg as my home town). I love the prairie countryside--in fact, I'm one of about three people who likes the incessant wind here.
My husband, Alan Mile, and I share our house with a little zoo of animals (currently two cats, six ferrets, and a hedgehog). They all roam freely throughout the house and yes, they all get along.
In my day job I'm the Program Officer for the Saskatchewan Writers Guild. I'm also on the Board of the Saskatchewan Arts Alliance and I'm the President of the Regina Vegetarian Society.
I'm a non-stop reader. Here are my lists of books read in 2008, 2007, and 2006.
If you'd like to know more about the topics that interest me, see my list of links (ever-expanding). You can also check out my blog archives (see left navigational bar); I maintained two blogs on an almost daily basis for 1 1/2 years, but decided to quit blogging to spend more time on my writing and volunteer work.
On the offhand chance that you're fascinated by me, here are a few random things to know:
And if you really can't get enough of me, here I am holding Owen the ferret (Owen lives with Candace Hough):
