BIOGRAPHY

Outlines

I'm a writer and journalist who has lived and worked in London, England. My fiction has appeared in Grimm magazine and Descant, and I was a finalist in The Writers' Union of Canada 2004 short prose competition. I review fiction for Books in Canada, The Globe and Mail, and Bookninja.com. I also teach writing. I live in Toronto with my husband and two children.

Brushstrokes

When I was 23, I had a Master's degree. When I was 35, I started but did not finish a PhD. My favourite scuba dive was after dark. Clutter drives me crazy but I'm sentimental. Theoretic physics confuses me in the most pleasing way. I can't conjugate Latin verbs but I can order a beer in at least three languages.
