Author's Bio

Decades ago, autodidact & bloody-minded optimist kerry rawlinson gravitated from sunny Zambian skies to solid Canadian soil, nurturing family and a career in Architectural Technology. Fast forward: she now pursues art & literature’s muses around the Okanagan, barefoot; her longsuffering husband providing SPF50 & comedy breaks. Photo Credit: Angharad Brooks.
