    ▬ ABOUT ME ▬

    I’m a writer, freelance editor, and podcaster. I was an academic librarian for over 30 years, working at university and research libraries in several cities in Canada and the US. After I retired, I moved to St. John’s, Newfoundland, in 2023. I’ve indie-published four books, have hosted a few other podcasts, and have done a lot of writing and editing, both professionally and personally.
