Still my favourite Christmas Flash Mob: Halleluja Chorus by Alphabet Photography Inc. The food court reminds me of what Bonnie Doon Mall in Edmonton used to look like. This was our closest mall, where we shopped and where the kids have had most of their Santa pictures taken. Santa Barry White now moves on to the new generation with grandsons Mark (5) and Leo (2).
I am a multi-genre author of literary fiction, fantasy, and paranormal, and writer of non-fiction articles on parenting, writing, education, health, and travel. My background encompasses both the sciences and the arts. I teach at a specialized clinic for learning disorders and mentor young authors. In addition to writing and teaching, my passions are weather, Indian food, gardening, and music. I have played eight musical instruments and spent many years immersed in taekwondo and karate. In my youth, I was an avid canoeist. I was born in Prague, Czech Republic, grew up in the Great Lakes region of Ontario, Canada, and moved to Alberta in 1988, where I raised four children.
