I write sewing and craft-related cozy mysteries and sewing how-to books. I live in Halifax, Nova Scotia with my husband and the dog and cat who rescued us. Here I am near my daughter and three of my grandchildren, but I also travel a lot to stay close to my sons and extended family throughout Canada and the US.
For many years I have had a double life. There, I’ve said it. In my public life, I have been a journalist, a public relations prof., a political communicator, and a commentator on radio. In my private life, I have been busy making all my own clothes, which I have done since I was twelve, and teaching a wide variety of sewing classes in Canada, the US, and Australia. As a sewist, I am most interested in solving construction puzzles and writing about that process. I wrote a long-running sewing blog and have published two books about sewing.
