I like too call myself a writer, but I’m in constant doubt. Influenced by my father’s love of Pablo Neruda to novels by Isabel Allende and Gabriel Garcia Marques variety has always been a part of my to read lists. Born in Chile and brought up in Canada the exposure to literature was endless. Reading was something my siblings and I did a lot of in order to learn a new language. The writing came much later. So now aside from my “real” job, I spend endless hours or at least until my vision blurs typing away on my laptop in hopes of creating something entertaining, maybe even memorable. I divide my writing time between my three incredibly active boys, husband and one crazy, yappy dog in a small town North or Toronto. Coffee, but mostly wine are my constant writing companions.
