Tigra's profile

Since the age of ten I have written…a snippet here a short story there. It seems I have always been working the wordsmith loom.

I am a Canadian writer, I live on the west coast, and the sea has always been part of my life. I live not two minutes away from the waves and froth, and I often hear the bark of seals off my back porch. Something I hold most sacred. There are many quail, rabbits and frogs here which delight me whenever I am lucky enough to see them.

I am an island girl through and through, I moved away once to Calgary Alberta and now that I am back I know I will never move again. The island and everything it offers is too ingrained in me. When I was away, I could hear the call of the sea and forest beckoning me back dee…

I am an island girl through and through, I moved away once to Calgary Alberta and now that I am back I know I will never move again. The island and everything it offers is too ingrained in me. When I was away, I could hear the call of the sea and forest beckoning me back deep within my soul.

When I can smell the forest or the sea on a warm summers breeze there is no other place I would rather be. No other place I could truely call home. (not that Calgary didn’t have its own wonderful smells and sounds…the leaves crunching underfoot and the smell they would radiate in the fall was just one)

I write about all sorts of different things…but I would have to day short stories are my favorite. There is just something about being able to sit and read a story to its completion in one sitting that draws me. Perhpas it is the challenge of creating a lovable or unlikable character in so little time, I don’t know.

I write some poetry although I will not say that I am any good at it. I know a little about technique, very little actually and just write what I like or what I feel. If it works great, if not I hit delete.

I am working on a novel as well, an adult, young adult fantasy of sorts…this will be my first attempt at such an undertaking and to this date I must say I am a little too shy to put it out for prying eyes yet. It keeps me busy, which is something I am sure any writer would want…
