Writing has always been a large part of Sylvia’s life. While in her teens, the experience of writing opened up whole new worlds for her as the characters she created became, for a short time, almost as much a part of her life as those in her reality.
Sylvia has had numerous articles published in magazines and newspapers in both Canada and the United States. She has also had her first non-fiction book published entitled ‘Roller Coaster Ride With Brain Injury (For Loved Ones)’. It can be ordered online at: www.trafford.com/08-0107 or by phoning: 1-888-232-4444.
She also has a busy life which includes five grown children, one daughter, four sons and their respective ‘significant others’ as well as being grandmother to seven grandchildren. Being a close-knit family, no occasion goes by without a celebration. Sylvia also enjoys photography, gardening, entertaining, reading and walking through nature.
Living on the coast of British Columbia, she enjoys time spent exploring the gulf islands and the many beautiful local areas. She confesses that nothing is more relaxing than to sit on the beach listening to the sound of waves crashing onto the shore while contemplating her next story.
