About
I am a former newspaper and magazine editor, now retired. Since retirement in 1996, I have published seven books.
Boomers Write
I also owns and maintains a web site for those over 50 called Boomers Write, where writers can post their memories, stories, articles and pictures. She also offers her expertise in the field of writing and getting published.
As well, I run a group called Ghosts & Hauntings on the Ellen DeGeneres Community web site (http://community.ellentv.com/group/ghosts) and maintain several groups on Gather.com, including Writer’s Block, Mystery of Dreams and Angel Network. As well, I write for various on-line publications and sites, and puts out a monthly newsletter called Glimpses of the Paranormal.
I have been interviewed on many on and off-line radio shows, including CHML and The X-Zone in Hamilton, Midnight Highway Radio, BUFO Radio, Global Talk Radio, The Graveyard Shift, Quantum Radio and Spirit Rescuers, 2012, so if you need someone to talk about the paranormal world, just ask!
In her hometown of Hamilton, Ontario I am a mother of two and grandmother of two. I am a member of Hamilton Writers and a past member of Arts Hamilton’s Literary Committee. She is also an active member of the Researching, Investigating and Debunking Ghostly Encounters (R.I.D.G.E) paranormal investigation team (http://www.theridgeteam.ca).
