ABOUT:
Looking for a literary agent is hard work, harder than writing a book. After reading one informative book on the subject, How to Land (and Keep) a Literary Agent, and a two-day goggle blitz of reading Blogs and articles about the dangers and pit falls and necessity to “do your research” before approaching an agent. Apparently, there are crooked agents that feed off novice writers hoping to publish — I hadn’t thought of that. One thing all the research agrees upon is that I need a ‘Platform’ if I want to find the agent I am looking for, and I hope is looking for me. This is the beginnings of my Platform. Please read my Synopsis.

Published by The Promise, a memoir of the imagination
As a young woman, I was a fisherman on salmon tollers on the West Coast, and then a writer and director in Fringe theatres across Canada. While raising my kids, I went to school and wrote my Ph.D. thesis, Ordering Chaos, the Canadian Fringe Theatre. And then I became a traveller. I traversed North and Central America by bus and train, and once by motorcycle. I have lived and worked in 6 different countries. In 2005, the University of British Columbia (UBC) hired me to teach in the English department. I also teach for a U.S. program called Semester at Sea. I’ve sailed around the world three times and 900 miles up the Amazon River. To celebrate my 50th year, I walked for 50 days across Northern Spain on an ancient Pilgrimage. And that is when I began to write my memoir. Now, I live part of the time on a tiny Caribbean island off the coast of Belize where I run a modest guest house, and the other part of the time I teach courses in Writing and Canadian Studies for the English Dept. at U.B.C. ‘The Promise’ is my first memoire and the first of a Trilogy.
