Spent the first 4 years of my life in First Nations (Native American) community. After parents separated, my mother was foster and adoptive parent to hundreds of First Nations children. This is likely the reason why many (but not all) of the characters in my books are First Nations even though I am of European descent. I write about the things that I care deeply about, but never sacrifice a “good read” for the sake of my passion. The books I write are meant primarily to be read and enjoyed – and only secondarily, perhaps, stimulate the reader to consider thoughts or ideas they would not otherwise encounter.
