About the Author

Author was born in Comox, B.C., raised in Powell River and now lives in Abbotsford. Anita has always written - beginning with children's stories when she was a teenager, eventually hosting a personal column for a number of years with the Powell River News. In 2008 Anita was injured in a horrific traffic accident in the jungles of Belize; nearing the end of her almost two year hospitalization, Anita picked up her pen once again. Long divorced with two children, she had remarried and traveled extensively through Mexico, U.S.A., Japan, Malaysia and Europe with a cherished month on Crete to indulge her lifelong passion in history. She was widowed shortly after then later traveled back to Italy and fulfilled a long held desire to visit Egypt. A lover of piano and opera, Anita also enjoyed many years with her string bass .in a community band. She has done many things from grocery clerk to model to telecommunications rep but writing remains a. constant hobby. The author will sometimes use "big" words in the belief that children need to be exposed to a better usage of English. Although her stories are all about animals, Anita has owned only two cats in her life - "Snowy" and "d. c." both of whom died unnatural deaths. The pain of their loss colours the tales she writes today. Author may be contacted at amayeverett@yahoo.com.
