I was born in New Westminster, B.C. and raised in Edmonton, Alberta. I married soon after graduation and moved to a farm where I had two children. When that marriage failed I began a long career of holding many as various jobs. I have worked as a bartender, hotel maid, cashier, bank teller, bookkeeper, printing press operator, meat wrapper, gold prospector, warehouse shipper, house renovator and nursing attendant. During that time I raised my two children and helped raise three step-children. I also had travel and historical articles published in magazines. Between 1990 and 2000 I researched and wrote seven Backroads Series books about Alberta, B.C., the Yukon and Alaska that were published by Lone Pine Publishing in Edmonton, AB. I love change so I have moved over thirty times in my life living on acreages and farm and in small towns and cities throughout Alberta and B.C. I now live on an acreage in the Port Alberni Valley on Vancouver Island with my husband, five cats and four chickens. I currently work in a group home doing one-on-one support with a mentally and physically challenged man. I belong to the Crime Writers of Canada, the International Association of Crime Writers/North American Branch, the Vancouver International Writers Festival, the Writers Guild of Alberta, the Federation of B.C. Writers, and the Port Alberni Arts Council. My short story A Capital Offence received Ascent Aspirations First Prize for Flash Fiction. I am proud to say that I am a published author of Books We Love, Ltd. http://thetravellingdetectiveseries.blogspot.com/ http://www.facebook.com/writingsbyjoan amazon.com/author/joandonaldsonyarmey Gold Fever http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PEOSJR8 Books of The Travelling Detective Series boxed set: Illegally Dead The Only Shadow In The House Whistler's Murder http://amzn.com/B00KF07FQM
