Lynn Fulton

I grew up in four different cities in three different Western states. I have a PhD in English, and I’ve worked as an insurance investigator, English teacher, and tutor.

I live in a 1960’s tract house in a small town near San Francisco. Its rooms are painted orange, green, and blue, with dog hair and dust bunnies drifting into the corners. In these rooms I write stories, weave tapestries, paint pictures, and try to decide what’s for dinner.

Linda Bailey

I was born and grew up in Winnipeg —a daydreamer with her nose in a book. In my twenties, I traveled around the world, mostly by ship. Later, I moved to Vancouver, where I earned a B.A. and M.Ed. at the University of British Columbia. Among my jobs were travel agent, college teacher, instructional designer and editor.

For years, I dabbled with writing. But I didn't begin to write in earnest until I had two young daughters. My first book was published in 1992, and I have since written more than thirty others, including novels, picture books and non-fiction.

I live in Vancouver, a short walk from the sea. I write full-time and still love to travel, read and daydream.
