Introduction | When I retired from teaching at Vancouver Community College, I decided to start a new career, doing what I'd always dreamt of doing: writing. So, I took a couple of writing courses and started to write for children. Maxim Gogol said that writing for children was easy. You just have to write the same as for adults, only better. So it's a challenge and a joy. On May 30, 2009 (Day of Pentecost), I was life professed as a Third Order Franciscan. |
