    • As a matter of fact there are links above that should take you to a few of my stories. “Erin’s Shrine,” is online at Cahoots Magazine, the other three stories “Unanswered Questions About The Titanic,” “There’s This Thing About Leaving,” and “Molly Riddy,” appeared in Transition a magazine published by the Saskatchewan Mental Health Society. Just click on the links.

      Hope that was helpful!
