Darlene Foster grew up on a farm/ranch in Alberta, Canada, where she dreamt of writing stories, travelling the world, and meeting interesting people. She also believed in making her dreams come true. It’s no surprise she’s now the award-winning author of Amanda Travels, a children's adventure series about a spunky twelve-year-old who loves to travel to unique places. Readers of all ages enjoy travelling with Amanda as she unravels one mystery after another. When not travelling, meeting interesting people, and collecting ideas for her Amanda Travels series, Darlene enjoys spending time with her family in Canada, and with her husband and entertaining rescue dogs, Dot and Lia, in Spain. ...more

I tend to read various genres not just the one I´m writing in. I write for children so I do like to read what kids are reading now to keep up to date. Thanks for asking!(less)

The new sights, sounds, smells, people and culture heighten my awareness. I can't wait to sit down and create a story out of my experiences. (less)

The Krymchak Cookbook by Anna Levi
"Bought this for research but will be making some of these scrumptious recipes as well. An awesome cookbook, but also a valuable archival document. Most Krymchaks perished in the Holocaust by Bullets in Crimea in 1941. This is a vanishingly small cult" Read more of this review »
