About
I am a passionate writer with over 30 years of experience, focusing on memoir, poetry, and social media writing. My work has appeared in Maclean’s Magazine, Pink Play Magazine, and various online platforms, and I self-published a memoir in 2024 dedicated to my late wife. I maintain an active YouTube presence, narrating my own work and producing content for diverse projects.
As a queer widow and single parent, I lead in-person and online workshops, book launches, and public readings. I created Captain Grief to explore grief with humor and resilience, and I continue to foster cathartic discussions around death, loss, and creative healing through my writing and teaching.
