I’m a nature-loving adventurer and children’s book author/illustrator whose life has been an exhilarating journey. Originally hailing from Ottawa, Canada, I developed a deep fascination for wildlife while chasing after wild animals in the swamps. Although I initially aspired to become a veterinarian, my path took an unexpected turn when I relocated to Italy.
In Italy, I pursued my passion for nature by earning a BS in Environmental Sciences and Territorial Management. This educational experience further ignited my love of writing about the natural world and its diverse wildlife.
I’m an active member of several professional organizations, including SCBWI, 12x12PB Challenge, ICWA, and the Children’s Book Academy. Constantly seeking growth and connection within the industry, I engage with fellow writers and storytellers.
Despite my affinity for all creatures, I humorously admit that my nine cats can be the most challenging animals to handle. When I’m not wrangling my feline friends, I spend my time writing, doodling, playing with clay, gardening, and exploring the enchanting Italian countryside with my husband. I also love preparing homemade pasta, showcasing my culinary skills.

I read that one! Are you querying?
Yes, a few agents at a time. I haven’t had any responses though. Sigh! I will send out more queries soon. How about you?
That’s what I do, a few at at time. So far my responses have been not right for them right now. We’ll be each other’s cheer squad! Go, Eleanor, go!
Okay, it’s a deal. Let’s hang in there.
I thought I answered you Angie. Yes, I am querying with no avail. Perseverance may pay in the end.
Not sure I answered you? I have too much on my plate right now. I have queried a few but I need to polish a few more MSs before sending others out. How about you?
I’m doing 12×12, so I have that encouragement to query. At least once a month! I also watch for agents who are seeking. It’s a tough road. But we shall keep on going, right? 🙂 Best wishes!
If times get tough the tough get going. Did Iget this right?
