A selection of my poetry, essays, and creative non-fiction are published on Medium, and I contribute frequently on that platform under Lindsay Ripplinger at: https://medium.com/@songbird.publishing

My creative works have appeared in AskedUs Magazine, Portal Magazine, backofthebook.ca, and Western Grandparent Magazine. My stageplay The Biz was workshopped by the Western Edge Theatre Company in Nanaimo, BC. 

Active works in progress include The Newly Frugal: A Beginner's Guide to the Frugal Lifestyle (scheduled for publication in 2024), and Frank's Rise, an historical fiction novel set within the aftermath of the 1903 Turtle Mountain rockslide.
