Kerry Schafer

Kerry Schafer was born and raised in Canada, moved back and forth across the border a number of times, and finally settled on a compromise. She now lives in Washington state, but within an hour's drive of her home and native land. Her childhood book collection traveled with her through all of those moves and she is still acquiring books and bookshelves. During her lifetime she has worked as a lumber piler, an OB nurse, a secretary, and a substitute teacher, among other things. No matter where she was living or what she was doing, she was creating writing time. Currently she balances writing and family with her work as a mental health counselor.
