I live in the Canton of Eoforwic in the Kingdom of Ealdormere, otherwise known as most of the Province of Ontario, Canada. I was made a Companion of the Order of the Laurel in April, A.S. 30 (1996) for my research and article writing (which you can access on this site), and a Companion of the Order of the Pelican in September, A.S. 38. I am currently serving as Society Chronicler. I'm also involved in archery, pewter casting, costuming, calligraphy, and am a former chronicler at local, baronial, and Principality levels. I am a former editor for Tournaments Illuminated, the quarterly magazine of the SCA. I have also served as editor for the past four years of the Pennsic Independent. My husband, Gunthar, is also in the SCA.
I have numerous dependents in the SCA. Here is a listing, and maybe coming soon I'll add some links to their articles and research....
Outside the SCA, I hold a PhD in History, which mostly hangs on the wall looking pretty while I work at a Large Bank as a business analyst and tech-herder.
Many have seen photos of my heraldic
counterchanged heraldic hockey surcote. In honour (!?) of the recent lockout
season in the NHL, I added some special
accessories....
