Martine Jardin

I was born a writer. According to my mother, I scribbled when just a toddler and hid all the pencils on her. As soon as I learned the alphabet, I wrote, and I've written ever since. I won some short story competitions at the age of twelve. When I was seventeen, I wrote short children's stories and illustrated them for a magazine. I am published overseas.

During my career as a wife, mother and then single mother, I wrote many stories by hand. After my children grew up, I started writing seriously again and put all these stories into book form, writing my first complete novel by hand until my son convinced me to tackle the computer.

I was gifted with many talents. My hobbies are, gardening, sewing, embroidery, knitting, painting, drawing, and many other crafts. But writing is my main talent and whenever I can, I now concentrate fully on it.

For the past 25 years I have lived in beautiful B.C. Canada. I share a home with my son and twelve year old cat.
