About Me
Hi! I'm Danette.
Here you'll find out more about me and how I roll.
My Bio
I live in Southwestern Ontario where I create all sorts of fun projects when I'm not reading, hiking and meditating. I can also be found burning up the dance floor (aka my living room) and singing along to my favourite Disney tunes.
I believe in magic and the power of love. My truest intention with my stories and creations is to infuse them with a sense of hope along with messages of love, truth and freedom.

Awards
Grand prize winner for a children’s picture book dummy entitled SHOOT! A LOVE STORY (written and illustrated by me) in the Page Street Kids prize, 2019.
SHOOT! A LOVE STORY is currently unpublished, but is seeking a forever home at a likeminded publishing house.
Ever since he broke his arm, Cupid can't aim. Will Valentine's Day be a happy one — or just plain heartbreaking? Without him there will be no new love. All he wants is to woo one and all, because everyone deserves to be loved.
