Boomers Write - About Me Fulfilling A Dream Along My Chosen Life's Path  I was born in Niagara Falls, Ontario in 1949. I have two college degrees, one in 2-year Legal Secretarial from Mohawk College in Hamilton, Ontario and the other in 3-year Print Journalism from St. Clair College in Windsor, from which I graduated with the Dean’s Award for Top of Class. For about 12 years, I worked as a secretary in a number of offices, including the Hamilton Sheriff’s Office, lawyers and land surveyors. This type of work, which included dictation, typing, filing, bookkeeping and general office administration soon became boring and not fulfilling. At the same time, I went through some tough experiences in my personal life and felt it was time to make a drastic change so I could support my two young daughters. After graduating from St. Clair College in 1986, I assumed the role of Editor of Arts and Entertainment Forum, a free publication dedicated to the local creative arts scene. For the next 12 years, I was employed with a variety of newspapers. My first job was as Entertainment Editor of half a dozen newspapers belonging to the Brabant chain. A year later, I became Editor of the Hamilton News and continued on to become Editor of the Flamborough News. When the Brabant chain was sold to Southam Newspapers in the early 90’s, I was moved to Senior Reporter of the Dundas Star and then later joined forces with a former Ontario provincial government minister to establish a new paper called the Dundas Review. After all of those years, writing has become an intimate part of me and I write pretty much every day. To date, I have had five manuscripts published. They are as follows: 
Thanks to my wonderful friend, Stan Tjaden, I have been able to set up this site. I cannot thank him enough for not only his consistent encouragement, but also his desire to push me to learn new things and in the process, discover my true abilities. Thank you, Stan. I am forever a true friend. Coming Soon!  Coming Soon!  "Was I 'Totally Scared' after reading this book? Yes and no. Authors Jette and Colclasure did a spectacular and imaginative job in compiling real ghost stories from around mincing with your average Joe to celebrity tales. There is even a section in the book on how to make your own haunted house, which as a mum of four I found very useful. Objects, people, places and things can all be haunted, as you will find out in this tome. For those who are new to the field of the paranormal or want to learn more on many different levels this is a read to pick up as I highly recommend it." - Author and Paranormalist, Alexandra Holzer, daughter of Hans Holzer, who wrote 138 books on paranormal topics during his lifetime. |
