ABOUT VANESSA

Thanks for visiting my website!

​

Over the years my love of storytelling and curiosity about people led me to study psychology, volunteer on a crisis line, serve as a peer counselor for a family life organization, teach accounting and fraud investigation at a university, and tell stories about life, love, and secrets.

​

I’ve been privileged to have given numerous workshops and courses to writers in Australia, New Zealand, the USA and Canada.

I live on beautiful Vancouver Island on the west coast of Canada with the love of my life and our beloved Siberian Husky.

The other love of my life – writing and storytelling – has been an integral part of my life since I was 12 years old. I’m currently dividing my creative time between working on the first novel in a mystery series that’s fascinating me, planning for a memoir, and developing multimedia courses and videos for storytellers.  

​

I love discussing storytelling, books, and the creative process, so don’t hesitate to post a comment or question here on the site, or contact me through Twitter or Facebook.

Have a great day, and take the time to read a good book!

Vanessa
