My short stories, poems and works of creative non-fiction have appeared in various journals including What Rough Beast, The Furious Gazelle, and Forge Journal, to name a few. My novella, JAZZ - Nature's Improvisation was shortlisted for the 2015 ReLit Award and is available through Quattro Books. Daring to Hope at the Cliff's Edge: Pangea's Dream Remembered was researched and written as part of a 2018 writing residency at the Joggins Fossil Institute. It is my debut book of poetry.

I have toured with Second City doing improv comedy, sung and danced with the Honolulu Symphony as the Witch in Hansel and Gretel, and played the role of Arkadina in The Seagull at Theatre Passe Muraille. As a storyteller, I have performed at the Toronto International Storytelling Festival and the Canadian National Exhibition. As Artistic Director of KPH Theatre Productions, myself and my husband (musician Beverly Glenn-Copeland) wrote and produced a number of musical plays using a collaborative theatre methodology, including: The Mother Tree, Barnyard Brains and The Raven of Eirean Mohr*
