Scott Sharplin's Web Site - A U of A Honour's English graduate, Scott is an excellent and insightful playwright, journalist, and essayist. He's also my husband, so I may be a little biased. Check his website for samples of his work.

University of Alberta - I am currently studying Medieval Drama with Garrett Epp in the English department for my PhD.

UBC - The university from which I recieved my Master's in English. The interdisciplinary Green College is one of the reasons I chose to go to UBC.

Christie Communications - My previous place of employment, where I was an "Internet/Multimedia Course Developer." In other words I designed websites and wrote scripts for CD-ROM and CBT based courseware.

The Labyrinth - An excellent on-line Medieval resource. Go here for more medieval resources.

Songs of the Blue Bird - A virtual zine and news source for Beauty and the Beast fandom. As you may have guessed by now, I am an incurable romantic, and this series caters to my weaknesses. I also stole this background from their page...
