Autorenporträt
Mary Lou Dickinson lives in a downtown condo in Toronto, Ontario with a tree at her window as reminder of her northern roots in a frontier Quebec mining town. She enjoyed a career that ended with 15 years as a crisis telephone counsellor for assaulted women. Always writing as well, with several short stories published in literary periodicals, she has been able to devote her retirement to writing. Her first published piece, at age 6, was a poem in her grandmother's food column in the Toronto Telegram. She now has six published books in various genres - literary fiction, mystery, as well as this memoir. She has completed another collection of short stories and is working on a new novel. (At 87, she is still writing.)
