My Story
.jpg)
My roots run deep in Saskatchewan with both of my parents born and raised in Saskatchewan, as was my husband, myself, and my children. I love walking, (even in the winter when it’s minus -30), reading, doing jigsaw puzzles, gardening, and listening to jazz. I am very humbled and honoured to have won the Crime Writers of Canada award for Best Crime Novel set in Canada for 2023, and to have been shortlisted for the Saskatchewan Book Awards for 2023.
