Born: Bulawayo, Rhodesia/Zimbabwe.
Educated: Kingsmead College, Johannesburg, South Africa - to Senior Matriculation (first year university level); Hosters College, London, UK.
Emigrated to Canada, October 1963.
The variety of businesses and organizations, some start-ups, that I have worked with meander across three continents – Southern Africa, Britain, Canada; the one common link being the requirement of my writing skills in some form. Each of them has connected me with interesting people, from those with a "room at the top," to others who toil in the fields. Each has exposed me to new experiences and fresh challenges.
For seven years, my husband and I lived on a subsistence farm in Prince Edward Island, surviving through art and writing, and continued to do so on arrival in London, Ontario, where we still reside.
Present Occupation: author - long and short fiction; essays, opinion pieces. A short story collection and a memoir are in progress or planned.
