About Me

I’ve always considered myself a wordsmith.  I love words and it has always fascinated me that a mere 26 letters set in different permutations and combinations could yield volumes and volumes of literature. So my job, as I see it is to combine those 26 letters as I am inspired.

The result thus far, at least the part my publisher saw fit for human consumption,  is five children’s books with Tundra, a division of Random House (two of which were nominated for Blue Spruce Awards and one of which was nominated for a Shining Willow.)  My professional life in word crafting started when I became an advertising copyrighter in Montreal.   I then moved to Los Angeles to become an editor and reporter for The Hollywood Reporter.  After THR I hosted a series on E! Entertainment Television.   I’ve interviewed many Hollywood celebrities and appeared as a correspondent and contributor on “Extra”, “Inside Edition”, “Geraldo”, “Canada AM”, and on CNN.   Later, I became host of “TV Guide Television”. I now live in Toronto (via Los Angeles where I lived for 15 sunny years), and continue to put letters together in ways I hope will satisfy my young readers.  I hope you enjoy my site.
