I was born in Poland in a small town close to a large forest. From an early age I was attracted towards writing, at the ripe age of five, I still remember I wrote a story about 3 princes and the oldest one was helping everyone. However I did not know how to write yet. It was in undulating lines and zigzag symbols so no one could decipher it - even me.
It was three notebooks full of adventures and positive legends, and changing bad witches into good fairies.
The next big attempt at writing I made at 24 years old and it was a book about two girls who got lost in a Canadian forest. The book was full of adventures, humor and information about wildlife.
The book never got published and soon life gave me a husband and two wonderful children.

As far as I could remember I always dreamt of having a horse, a farm close to the forest and wanted to be a cowgirl. Now I know that with dreams I must be careful as they may come true! Soon I had a farm, a horse, a cow, 4 sheep, a goat, 40 chickens (though half of hawks had for supper).
But I also had big dreams about traveling the world. After six years of farming I came to Western Canada through Greece , Spain and Eastern Canada . Within 15 years in Canada , the children grow up fast and left home. Ex-husband got lost looking for more adventures outside of the Country. I finally stopped, and it was by Pacific Ocean, I love British Columbia and here I found a job I loved, and all my dreams came together.
I was a tour guide and bus driver for Spanish speaking tourists. It was so much fun driving around the most beautiful places in BC, like the Rocky Mountains , Whistler, Victoria etc. But as much as I loved working as a tour guide, when I came home at the end of a long day nobody was waiting for me, no pets, no husband and no children. Something was missing and I felt alone like never before.

So twice a year I had a vacation. First vacation of the year was for the first 6 months when I was driving tourists every day, 15 or 16 hours a day without a day off. I didn't need days off I had a great deal of fun, walking near lakes, seeing grizzly bears, elks, flying in helicopters, and meeting some great people. It was not a job - it was just lots of fun. During the winter I wrote for 10 – 12 hours a day in between taking off to ride horses as a hobby.
One day very unexpectedly, a captain of the seas crossed my path. Until that time I decided to be alone for rest of my life, but I forgot that I had always one more dream – to find real love. He was a widower with 9 cats. I never dreamed about having cats, especially 9 of them, but I did married this wonderful man so I had to accept the whole package (cats and all) .
Though there is lots of negativity in the world I was pulled to the positive side and wanted to help others wear a smile on their face. Now I'm a full time writer and cat mom.
