Welcome.

Here you'll find reviews of my published work, novel excerpts, reading group and book club material, contact information, and my blog (coming soon). I hope you'll check in periodically and join me on this new blogging adventure where I intend to talk about the twin pillars of my life: writing and parenting. Some of the things I've been thinking about are: How to be a good artist and a good mother? How each of these worlds reach into the imagination? Why it's possible to write well without sleep? How does spending time with a child inspire new and better work?

Recently I was able to get out of town on week-ends and spend some time with aspiring writers from Durham region through my duties as the Writer-in-Residence at the Oshawa Public Library. Now I'm back teaching creative writing courses at the University of Toronto, through the School of Continuing Studies.

Thanks for visiting.

Elizabeth
