I started writing to amuse my daughter. I would write poems and short stories. I found this to be fun and challenging. I liked it so much that I kept on writing. My drawings look like the animals I write about...I try not to make them too scarey. I give a positive message in my books. Children are bombarded with many negatives. I feel that every child is special. I want children to feel good after my book is read. I am presently working on my third book. It should be out in a couple of months. I hope you like my books as much as I have enjoyed writing them.

Sept 2012 Gerty the Different Giraffe is now available. Take a look. It's a fun book.

Nov. 2012 Recently was in California promoting Gerty...Hello to the people I met...I hope you are enjoying the 3D bookmarks...

I am now working on my fourth book. The animals are North American.

You can find out more about me on google.

In 2013 I shared stickers of my books at Italian Days and the street fair on Commercial Drive, Vancouver, BC. I also shared books marks & rulers in Granville Island, BC. Hope you are enjoying them. I will be coming out with more things.

It's nearly the end of 2015. There has been a lot of turmoil in the World this year.

Take time for what's important to you. Take time to be with those you love.

If you want to see some of my photos and ramblings go to: google and look up my name. It will take you to my gmail site.

August 2016 Denise The Deer And Her Friends is now available. I hope you check it out.

I looked at my books listed on Amazon. Was I surprised!!! One of my books was listed for sale at $713.32????? I have never seen anything so funny!!!! I have contacted Amazon.

I apologize for this ridiculous price. Amazon quickly replied and made the necessary corrections. Hope you weren't deterred by this. Have a look at my books. Children love them. I am working on another book. It should be out near the end of the year.

October 2019 - I am still working on two more books. When you look at the prices listed for my books, you probably think they are too expensive. I don't choose the prices. However, my books are hardcover, good quality paper. Children carry them around like a toy. If you do buy my books, give me some feedback. I would love to hear from you.

December 2020 - My heart goes out to those that have lost their loved ones due to this terrible epidemic. A special thank you to the medical staff and caregivers. They are so important. This too shall pass. However, it has changed the World forever.

It is now 2022. The World is struggling with so many problems. A big hug to all of you.
