I’ve been writing as a hobby since, at the age of four, I penned an epic about my then-favourite sport, the charmingly mis-spelled “baceball.” I’m more of a basketball fan these days, but I have kept up my love for writing throughout. I live in Toronto, Canada, or as we Torontonians like to call it, “the centre of the universe.” I’m just joking about that … mostly. I’m writing a novel at the moment in which the main character hates Toronto, so that’s been a bit of a challenge. At one point she describes it as a “frenetic smogscape.” To each her own, I suppose. In my day job, I work as an HR lawyer, workplace harassment investigator and anti-harassment and management trainer with Bernardi Human Resource Law (visit us at www.hrlawyers.ca). Outside of work, while I'm less enamoured than I once was with "baceball," I've replaced it with a hobby and passion that I find even more creative, exciting, and easy to spell: swing dancing. In addition to the joy of dancing itself, I co-founded the University of Toronto Swing Dance Club and have served as President of Toronto Lindy Hop, a not-for-profit swing dance organization (www.torontolindyhop.com).
