I am a retired teacher living in Halifax, Nova Scotia. I have lived and worked in the USA, Canada, China, Botswana, Oman, Trinidad, and The Bahamas. My master’s degrees in English and history have given me a life-long passion for reading imaginative literature and historical experience. Along with academic writing, I have published several short stories and a novel What Mountains Teach (revised and previously titled Walking Home via the Appalachian Trail). For many years, I have been keeping a journal of my experiences to mine for stories. And, yes, I did walk the whole Appalachian Trail!

What Mountains Teach is a revised 1st person account compared to the previous 3rd person Walking Home.

Both are available in paperback or kindle on Amazon, etc.
