About the Author

Born in Welland, raised in Parry Sound, Ontario Canada.
Currently spend most of my time with my husband at our villa in Cabarete in the Dominican Republic.
I am a volunteer with the Dogs and Cats of the Dominican Republic helping needy families by doing community outreach and helping out at the spay and neuter clinics.
I foster a couple of dogs in need of a forever home and have adopted 6 of my own.
I enjoy my writing career and working on my website.... as frustrating as it can be forever learning new things.
I have 3 younger brothers, 3 wonderful sons and 5 fabulous grand-kids.
The only down fall to being in the DR is missing the family and friends at home in Canada. Wish they were here!
