About the Author

I have enjoyed writing for many years. I write poems for friends, short stories for my own satisfaction, and have shared them with several friends and acquaintances over the years. Many times I have been told, “You should write a book,” so now I have chosen to do so. I have had a few short stories published in breed magazines, specifically collie magazines belonging to the Collie Club of Canada as well as the Alberta Collie and Shetland Sheepdog Association, also of Canada. I have loved dogs, all dogs (collies and shelties being my favorite breeds), for my whole life. I breed, raise, and show my dogs in conformation (the beauty ring) and obedience/performance and have done so for many years. I am a member of the Collie Club of Canada and the Canadian Kennel Club as well as the Wascana Dog Obedience Club located here in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. I was born and raised in Regina. I worked as a health care professional (LPN) at the same long-term care facility for thirty-six years. I am semiretired and continue to work in long-term care as an LPN on a casual basis.
