Mali to Mexico and Points in Between

It's amazing where the dreams of your childhood will take you. It's even more amazing the places you'll go and the experiences you'll have that you never could have dreamed of. From my childhood farm to Mali … from the Canadian prairies to Kenya for a safari … from the cold and snow of Edmonton to the sun and sand of Mexico ... from a career in teaching to writing … from under the wheels of a car to months of rehab … I've had the extreme good fortune to live a full and rich life and in this collection, I've shared a few of those experiences, most of which are humorous.

About the Author

Many years ago a young girl left the safety of Canada for adventure in Africa. This was in a generation when young girls didn’t go anywhere on their own and certainly not to the “the dark continent.” I had to adapt to the climate, the culture, the language, and above all time travel, for most Malians lived the way they always had. Modern conveniences consisted of basic items such as kerosene lanterns and little else. It was the plight of Malians that inspired me to begin writing. Now that the Em and Yves series is complete, I’ve found that I’m hooked on writing and have moved on to other genres.
