I have been: a divorce lawyer, stu­dent, wait­ress, nurs­es’ aide, hos­pi­tal admit­ting clerk, fac­to­ry assem­bly line work­er and child. I live in Van­cou­ver, B.C. and in Col­i­ma, Mex­i­co. I have one hus­band, one daugh­ter, three step-chil­dren, a Ger­man Shep­herd, trop­i­cal fish and many over sexed para­keets. When in Mex­i­co, I nur­ture my hus­band, and my vanil­la vines. When in Van­cou­ver I try to keep dry.
