About the Author
I live in the interior of British Columbia with a menagerie that includes: one husband, three children, two dogs, one cat and an assortment of impermanent lodgers otherwise known as ‘neighbourhood children.’

The two great passions of my life are writing and Irish history, in writing Exit Unicorns I have, I hope, fused these two elements together. Much of the fiction I read today has left me feeling that, while the writing was technically good, there wasn’t enough story to sink my teeth into. I believe myself to be a storyteller before all else. Thousands of years ago I’d of sat by the tribal fire and woven tales for my shaggy-haired listeners. Very simply, it’s what I was meant to do.

I’ve traveled extensively in Ireland, particularly in the North where my story takes place. I walked the streets where history was made and smelled the smoke and blood of those times. I spoke with people on both sides of the political and religious divide about their beliefs and their struggles- this included a particularly memorable evening in an IRA pub. I drew from my own family history as well, the stories told by my great-grandmother who was a native of Belfast and left the country she loved because of political upheaval.

Currently I’m hard at work on the continuing story of Jamie, Pamela and Casey that began with Exit Unicorns.
