About Me
Born in Saskatchewan, but lived most of my adult life in England. Now myself and my family have returned to try out a bit of the Canadian weather! My job involves writing non fiction but I am hoping that I will soon have time to indulge in my passion of fiction and blog writing soon! I have so many ideas just bursting inside my brain it feels like it will explode. I strive to one day be able to write and feed my family with the books and stories I create and leave a legacy for our children.

Q&A with Vincent
How would you increase literacy?I'm so happy that phones now have room for proper spellings of words as the English language was being killed by text speak. Schools need to accept the huge value of people being able to speak and correctly write their own language and also I feel it is an asset if we could bring more languages into the curriculum. Children need to learn how to write first before they start using keyboards and bring back cursive. My daughter is 15 years old and can't sign her name with joined up writing!
What are the ingredients for a blockbuster story to you?A great story needs at least one character you can associate yourself with, or have some affinity to. It doesn't have to be the main character. I like books to have something happening all the time so the story needs to keep moving, and not to be too complicated that I get lost as I tend to read at night and fall asleep so have to pick up easily.
What are your top stories that entertain and/or inspire you?I like Stephen King stories. Supernatural stories. Stories of terrifying events. I like short stories. Stories with twists at the end. Stories of intrigue. Murder stories. True crime. History books are a great place to find inspiration as truth is stranger than fiction sometimes. Books about survival and surviving the odds especially strong women characters.
Do you have any advice to aspiring writers?I'm an aspiring writer so I'm not sure I can give good advice, however, I find that my best work comes from my own experiences and I am the master of people watching, studying people's reactions to things that happen to them and then my characters are based on people I know/knew and the stories become stories of what those people would do in the extreme circumstance I put them in.
Do you recall how your interest in writing originated?I always wanted to become a Hollywood actress and when it occurred to me that that was not going to happen (around the age of 13) I would read anything immersive and lose myself in books. After awhile I would start to fantasize about life and being in movies and stories and eventually I began to write my stories after getting on a writing course in 1998. I have vivid dreams and I have started to use my dream stories as a basis for my tales.
