    I live on the west coast of British Columbia amidst the mighty elder rainforest trees and the crashing of the coastal waves with my husband and daughter.As an avid reader and writer, nothing pleases me more than creating unique worlds and characters - and bringing them to life. I thoroughly enjoy the art of storytelling, and have taken great delight in the art of wordcraft.
