At the age of ten, she wrote her first poem and, after graduating from high school, took a journalism course, receiving her diploma. While working as editor for a newspaper in the early 1970s, she did some freelance writing and edited several newsletters. She had several short stories and poems published in various magazines and newspapers. She always wanted to write a full-length novel, and in 2009, Family Lies was published. Since then, she has had two more published: Blood Ties and Shadows of the Mind. Nightmare at Turtle Lake is her fourth novel.
After retiring from farming at Kindersley, Saskatchewan, in 2000, the author and her husband moved to the village of Paradise Hill, Saskatchewan.view less
