Dorothyanne Brown is a retired registered nurse, and a current writer and editor. She’s a graduate of Queen’s, the London School of Economics, and the University of London, with a master’s in health policy and a diploma in epidemiology to add to her nursing degree. She has been fortunate to have worked in three provinces and three countries, in public health, hospital nursing, and health care management. 

When forced to retire because of multiple sclerosis, she took her interests to arts and volunteering. This past February saw the release of Spit and Polish, her second novel, and the first in a series about Ruth Maclean, a nursing student.

She’s excited to serve as community council co-chair for the FLA OHT, and looks forward to working with our dynamic team. Dorothyanne lives in Kingston, ON, and spends her non-volunteer time writing, editing, teaching, and cat-wrestling.
