Introduction	I am the mother of three lively little boys, one little girl, and a beautiful baby boy waiting for us in heaven. We lost our fifth child, who was full-term and stillborn, in May 2009 and are still struggling through grief as a family. We live on Canada's west coast and I try to fit time in every day to write in some capacity. I am a former staff writer for a daily newspaper, now freelance. I also do transcription for university profs, PhD, or Master's candidates. I'm Catholic and love being a mum. Someday I'll get a novel written.
