Biography

I am originally from the Gaspé, but I moved to N.B. in 1991. I have been writing since the age of 19 and my first children’s novel was published in 2012 by Editions Karo (which no longer exists).


I completed high school at the Matane Polyvalente and my post-secondary studies at the Cegep in Rimouski and at the Université de Moncton.
