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.

A short bio of a long life: While raising my two kids, I went to school and eventually wrote my Ph.D. thesis, Ordering Chaos, the Canadian Fringe Theatre Phenomenon in 1999. In the 90’s, I was also a writer and director in Fringe theatres, touring across Canada in the summers with my small theatre company. I was a traveller most of my life, I traversed North and Central America by buses and trains, and once by motorcycle, and I have lived and worked in 6 countries. In 2005, the University of British Columbia (UBC) hired me to teach in the English department and I became a “Gypsy Academic’ teaching some semesters at UBC and teaching for a U.S. program called Semester at Sea. I sailed around the world three times and 900 miles up the Amazon River. To celebrate my 50th year, I took a long solitary walk across Northern Spain on an ancient Pilgrimage, I walked for 50 days. Now, I live on a tiny Caribbean island with sandy roads off the coast of Belize where I run a little guest house for tourists and teach online undergraduate courses in Writing and Canadian Studies for the English Dept. at U.B.C. PRELUDES is my first memoire, and the first of a Trilogy.
