Works in Progress
Any minute now, my first foray into children’s literature, Mousa From Nowhere, could appear. It is based on the story in Alia’s Voice, but from the viewpoint of Alia’s youngest child.
Also, I’m collaborating on two biographies: One is about a Canadian nurse who spent her nursing career in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, first working in mission hospitals and later with various non-government organizations. Fifteen years ago she married a Congolese pastor and became step-mom to ten children. Officially retired, she now operates Espoir Goma (affiliated with Days for Girls ) from her dining room table in Goma, DRC.
The other bio is about a Canadian advocate for basic income, a woman who champions human rights for those most affected by climate change, income inequity, child poverty, food insecurity and homelessness:
The biographies might appear in 2026. Or not.
I’m still working on Path of the Arrow, a Canadian historical series for young readers, and My Famous Uncle John, a fictionalized biography of the man who established a bridgehead for his family to come to Canada.
Then I’ll take a nap.
