Biography

For 15 years I taught Grades 7 and 8 and thoroughly enjoyed it. I grew up in Courtice, Ontario but have lived in Cottam, Cookstown and Barrie. Some of my greatest achievements have been learning how to use my cell phone and how to make a great stir fry. I have three grown up kids and currently live in Barrie where I love to write and run an educational publishing company called Wintertickle Press.
