About the Author

Author was born in Comox, BC, 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 travelled extensively through Mexico, USA, Japan, Malaysia, and Europe with a cherished month-plus on Crete, where she was able 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 school then community band. She has done many things, from being a grocery clerk to modeling to telecommunications representative, 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 DC, both of whom died unnatural deaths. The love and empathy she felt for both pets colors her writing today.
