I've been writing fiction since about 1990. Along with the simple joy of creating worlds, I've had a few good successes to sustain me in my efforts:

• Under a Living Sky (Novel for ages 8-12), Orca Books, 2005 (Winner: 2006 Family Friendly Book Awards).
  
  
• “Hard-tail,” Kitchener/Waterloo Record, July 3, 1993. (Runner-up: K/W Record national short story contest).
  
  
• “Primary Passage” (Short Story), in Changing Image, Southern Ontario Library Service, 1992 (Winner: Dorothy Shoemaker Literary Award).
