Carolyn Psutka - Leanne Roth
Carolyn currently lives in London, Ontario and is a recent graduate of an MA program in English specializing in Early Modern drama. She hopes to make her lifelong love affair with writing and books into a career.
Though wildly passionate about writing and literature, she also loves art in all shapes and sizes, from visual to performative.
When she's not buried in books or typing furiously away, she's in the kitchen experimenting with recipes and covered with flour, exploring other countries, their cultures and cuisines, or spending far too much time on the Internet.
