Publications and Media

I enjoy writing for many, different kinds of publications and continue to marvel at how
much more enriched my own life becomes when I am invited into the lives of others.
Interviewing people and sharing their stories is an absolute privilege.

Below are links to PDF’s of some of my published work.

For a number of years after my return to Canada from the United Arab Emirates, I wrote
a bi-monthly column for Kamloops This Week, comparing and contrasting life in the
Arabian desert of my past to life in the arid desert of my then-present. Below are links to
PDF’s of a few of the 75 columns I wrote.

The Sustenance of Life

Books, Blood, and Baking

What kind of a writer would I be if I didn’t love books? I blog about the ones the LOL (Ladies on Literature) are reading and sometimes about my own. I’ve got a handful of novels collecting dust on my laptop, with plans to publish them.

Oddly enough, I don’t love blood (it makes me a little queasy) but I do like to write about it. My weekly health and humor column runs in the Kelowna Daily Courier and other newspapers. Read my blog for insight on what’s trending in health and medicine—out there—and at home, where I live with my ER physician husband, our border-collie X, and when they're home from university, our beautiful son and daughter.

Finally, I love to bake. Mostly cakes. Not fancy ones that require hours of delicate labor, but home-style cakes that beckon for thick layers of spatula-swirled icing. Here you’ll find musings on my makings in the kitchen (and somtimes just life) and some beater-licking good recipes from all the LOL.
