Welcome! I am a writer and artist living on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. I write speculative fiction, essays and articles. I also make mosaics and dabble in oils, acrylics, and mixed media.
My woodland home sits beside a ‘holler’ at the foot of the Cape Breton Highlands, so I call this place Highland Holler. (And when you holler the highlands echo right back atcha!) Every season here brings its own delights and challenges. I share some of my thoughts and observations, gleaned from life here in the holler, on my blog. To see earlier posts, go to Blog List.

This year, 2025, marks 20 years since I was back on the road with Tundra, driving from my new Cape Breton home to Calgary and back again. I moved to Cape Breton in 2004, but it was time to head back to wrap up some loose ends – and to fetch Spot the dog. This blog is an account of that road trip.
