I am a graduate of Queen's University, Kingston, with a special interest in Canadian Literature, Environmental Science and evolutionary theory. I am a Catholic who believes in reproductive choice. My ancestors hail from Wales, England and Scotland, but I was born in Canada. I am five feet tall, and try to run a marathon every year! I am now a vegan, but I don't get militant about it.
My passion for Canadian writing has led me to make contributions, some minor, others more significant, to articles about the writers listed below (or one of more of their books), and I hope to add to this list every month. ...Looking back on this last semi-commitment from some years later, I haven't even come close, but I do like to update information about writers I particularly admire.
I have other interests, and sometimes go on minor editing sprees to correct stylistic mistakes.
