Kerrie Mills

Call me Ishmael. Well, OK, you can also call me Kerrie. Fewer harpoons that way, anyhow. Card-carrying member of GenX. After years of working that out in the big city, have decided to slow the pace down a bit and relocate in Burlington, Ontario, just outside Niagara wine country. Two cats, one mom, one decent admin job that feeds the cats and mom and incidentally caters to my chocolate fetish... ...But what I really want to do is write. Actually managed to get published once or twice , which only encouraged the habit further. Have no idea what's going to happen now, but am looking hugely forward to the journey anyway.
