A Candian native now living in Mexico this bilingual writer on Medium brings a lot to the table. She self publishes as well as publishes in Boomerangs, Growing Grief, Crow’s Feet, A Little Bit Better, just to name a few.

Essays to short form to poetry, she’s got you covered.

Here are some of her titles that stuck out to me.

Depression-era Mentality Lives on in Us Boomers

Borders Closed, Life On Hold, Waiting to see grandkids in COVID times

Perhaps He Realized He Was Leaving Me Soon

6000 Steps a Day at 60-Something

And that’s just my short list. So why feature someone who has been on the platform April 2020 and has 176 followers?

I was impressed with her willingness to write in a second language.

Well all know as writers that there is little money to be made by the masses even if you’re good and write in English. To write in a second language knowing that more than likely you won’t make any money from it shows courage, compassion, passion and a willingness to share.

I think those all good reasons to check her out. Don’t you?
