Hi! I'm Beth.
I aim to create connections and make tough topics accessible through my humorous stories.
As well as being a children's book author, my writing has appeared in The Globe and Mail. I also write blog posts for SELspace.ca.
I have my Master’s in biology and love weaving nature and science themes into my projects, too.
When not writing, I can be spotted walking my dog, in a down dog or spending time outside with my family in Ottawa, Ontario.

Fun Facts About Me

I love water: paddling on it, diving into it and drinking it. But I don’t like being splashed.
-
I like exercising but not being out of breath.
-
100% morning owl, 0% night hawk.
-
If I went back to school I'd study neuroscience.
-
Everyone in my family plays hockey except me. Our dog is even named Gretzky.

I’m a dog person but have always had slightly neglected cat, too.
-
I don’t enjoy cooking but spend a lot of time in the kitchen because I like eating good food. I also really like potato chips.
-
Rain or shine, you’ll find me outside.
-
I’ve swam with beluga whales (okay, they were really far away), whale sharks (touched one’s back!), sea lions (they nibbled my life jacket) and dolphins (there were so many, I was scared!), all in the wild.
-
I’ve been tandem skydiving. I couldn’t have thrown myself from an airplane by myself.
