In 2013-2014, I worked as a relief lighthouse keeper for a year on the coast of British Columbia. I traveled by boat and helicopter into these stations and stayed for a length of time. Each station is different. There was always one principal keeper and I would be there to do the duties of the assistant keeper. We each had our own house. As romantic as it sounds, we did not live in the light;) This blog chronicles some of my adventures and the history of these remote locations.

It's been a while since I posted on this blog. That's because I've been busy writing.
Inspired by my experiences as a relief lighthouse keeper and my love of all things psychic and magic, I wrote a Young Adult/Adult paranormal mystery novel. It launches Tuesday February 24th, 2026. I'm hosting an online launch that night at 6:00 pm and you're invited!
Bring your questions and come enjoy the celebration with me. Check my website for more information.
