I have been in "the word business" one way or another since the 1970s. As a staffer at The Ottawa Citizen newspaper, I both wrote and edited copy. I've also worked in the federal government editing books, reports and manuals, and writing promotional and educational materials. Now I freelance for local and national magazines, and various organizations.
Currently, I'm a regular contributor to Heritage, the Heritage Canada Foundation's quarterly magazine and to Ottawa Outdoors Magazine. I am also assistant editor of Life in the County, a quarterly about Prince Edward County.
My subject areas include:
heritage preservation
archaeology
architecture
Canadian history
cycling
Parks Canada
running
