once suggested to her that she seek therapy, but how dull would things be
now if she had agreed to do so. Her fascination with the supernatural
creatures of the darker side of the world have shaped the numerous
nightmares that fire her ideas for her many stories that mainly lurk
inside her private thoughts. Gwenyth Love lives in

Mack, Deb
I've lived in Hamilton all my
life....love Hamilton. Married to a musician. We have two daughters, one
left the nest...one wants to. That's sayings it's time for me to get back
to neglected writing and art. Although not published, I have written
children's picture books & poetry. Sent my viewpoints to the local
newspaper. I am a collector of Hamilton milk bottles, and a lighthouse
enthusiast...so maybe there is some writing there also.
Martin, Michael -

I grew up in Oakville, and graduated from
Sheridan College with a Media Arts diploma in 1990. I write because
something inside me says I have to. It's what I seem to be here for. I
write short stories and dark poetry. I would like to write a novel
someday. When I'm not writing, I like to read, either fiction, or history
(World War 2).

I discovered writing and found my voice. I had
been silent for too long and those skeletons were rattling the door. Now
through poetry, journaling, writing, and art I can feel. I laugh
louder, cry harder, and feel everything more intensely. Without paper and
words I doubt I would still be alive today.

publish anything. Writing is my only love. Featured on my website are my
poetry and journal entries from my open diary. I am hoping to get my
writing out into the world.

Out.
Sweet, Chris - Contact
All my life, I have been
intrigued by both consuming and creating literature. Since I learned to
write, I have been creating works of fiction and poetry. For a couple of
years after moving to Hamilton in 2000, I was stuck in a sort of rut, I
yearned to write but just didn't. I have finally picked up the pen again
and have been writing like mad. I am currently in the early stages of
creating my first novel.
Through both travel and unique life experiences, my imagination has been
crammed full of inspiration. I believe firmly that my calling in life is
to be a full time author.
