Biography
I was born in Toronto, Ontario in 1956. When I was a kid, I loved books and going to the theatre. With my brothers and sister, I performed many plays and circuses in the backyard.
I went to high school in Toronto, but decided to work instead of going to college. I had lots of different jobs before becoming a writer, including a theatre usher, a cookie seller, a waitress, a sailor, a photo stylist and a toy designer. I had my own company, called Jesse Design, for fifteen years.
I've lived in New York City since 1978, but spend summers in Stratford, Ontario, where my parents and grandparents lived. I have two daughters named Hannah and Nell.
