Maryke started writing as a young expatriate child and continued when she returned to Canada in her teens; she took a break when studying and starting her career in dietetics and returned to her first passion when this story came to her in a dream containing only an image, a voice, and two words.
After many years in British Columbia, Maryke now lives in Alberta with her husband and son and a couple of beloved pets, one of whom is her faithful companion on long walks where she connects with the beauty and peace of the land.
