I was born and raised in Toronto, Ontario, and moved to the west coast of Canada in 1979. I decided to become a writer in 1983, and published my first work in 1989, a humorous nonfiction piece about the difference between the myths of new motherhood, and the realities they forget to mention, like the "helpful" suggestions you get, or the difficulty in walking and sitting, and the fact that you and sleep become distant acquaintances. It took me so long to become a writer because while I'm an avid reader, I didn’t make the connection between the books that are always in my hand, and the scribblings I'd been doing since kindergarten until I was in my mid-twenties. It never occurred to me that anyone would actually publish my writing, and pay me for it. Having had an abiding love of children’s literature I naturally started writing for children. Some would say that’s because I never grew up. I've never denied the charge. In and around writing, submitting and being rejected, Bev. married – a computer programmer who looks on her passion with bemusement, but seems proud of her achievements over the twenty-seven years they’ve been married. We have two grown children, two cats and a bird who rules the house - cats and humans both. These days, I write for an online zine on a social media network, coach writers and edit other people's manuscripts when I'm not fighting my way through my latest novel or playing video and computer games.
