These days I write, read, practise tai chi, go for walks, and fulfil my duties as editor of Wild Sage Press. My varied workplaces have included Women in Print, a feminist printing collective in London, England; Regina’s Tumbleweed Books, a community bookstore; the Westmount Youth clinic in Montreal; and Neighbourhood Information Centre in Toronto. I also job-shared the position of executive director of the Saskatchewan Publishers Group (now SaskBooks), took a lead role in developing and implementing a best practices approach to health promotion, and conducted research and evaluations related to health and social issues with a variety of groups, ranging from all levels of government to non-profits.

Born in North Battleford, Saskatchewan (Canada), I grew up in Regina, before adventuring off to live for a few years each in Montreal, Toronto, and London, England. I moved back to Saskatchewan in 1980 where I’ve been ever since (except for another stint in Toronto while I did my MHSc degree), enjoying life with Evan, my partner of over 40 years. Evan and I are the lucky parents of two children and have two delightful grandchildren.
