I am an independent researcher and Library Technician from Ontario. With my current focus being on early romances by Canadian authors, I hope to bring more awareness about the genre in Canada. The book that got me hooked on Canadian romance was Somewhere in France by Jennifer Robson, and my life's never been the same.  (It was #stepbacksaturday on Instagram that had me look into the history of the genre in particular). Romance novels and my faith helped me heal from difficult personal experiences, so my research is my way of saying thank you to Romancelandia. When not reading romance, I am either playing cozy games or painting.​
