Hey Everyone!

As Clothbot says, only a few hours until the fun begins!

I’ve been living here in Ottawa for the last three years, despite being married to an Ottawa Valley boy for almost a decade. I’m an author, blogger, photographer and part time musician, and I’m certainly in awe of the company I’m included in! To quote a classic 90s film – I’m not worthy!

I’ve spent ten years in technical pursuits – from a major e-learning provider to independent work – before ditching it all for the lonely, poor paying, but happy and satisfying world of writing (almost) full time.

I’m one of those people who is possessed of the curious mind, and got into the wonder of TED through Mary Roach. I’ve done a bit of everything in life, and have become a vocal advocate for the Creative Commons and Open Source software as well as the arts. I’ve been finding my feet in Ottawa, so I’ve been pretty quiet, but you can expect to hear more from me soon – especially since my first novel is coming out next month.

Looking forward to meeting creative, innovative people tonight!
