Sylvia Holt lives with her husband on British Columbia's west coast...a far cry from her prairie upbringing that influences so much of what she writes. She has packed and moved house and home over thirty times, enjoyed a dozen or so completely different careers, raised two daughters with her adventurous husband of forty-plus years, and accumulated unlimited fodder for creating stories. She has been in love with books and writing all her life - a legacy, perhaps, from her school-teacher mother and storytelling, carpenter father.
