Biography

Born in 1943 in Toronto. Raised and educated in Toronto, Miami Beach, Florida, and Ottawa. Received Arts degree and graduate diploma in Child Study from the University of Toronto in 1965 and 1966, respectively. Special student in Department of Religion at Carleton University, 1974 -78. Married Arthur Drache in 1965 and divorced 1990. Four children: Deborah (1968), Ruth (1969), Joshua (1971), and Mordecai (1972).

I have played with the letters of the alphabet since the mid-1970s, transitioning in 1984 to a full-time writer of fiction and literary journalism, with stints at teaching creative writing. Currently, I am working on my fourth collection of short stories and a novella. Stay tuned...
