Welcome to my website! I live in the harbour city of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, in the regional municipality of Halifax. Born in British Columbia and raised in Ontario and Japan, I felt instantly at home upon my arrival on the east coast, not only because my father’s ancestral roots run deep in this province, but because I once again found myself in close proximity to seashores, beaches, inlets, hills and mountains–landscape features I’d sorely missed after leaving Japan to attend university in my country of birth. I’m a member of the Writers’ Federation of Nova Scotia (WFNS), the Canadian Society of Children’s Authors, Illustrators and Performers (CANSCAIP) ), and Haiku Canada. Hope you’ll visit again soon!
