Genre


Lyn Alexander grew up in Ottawa, Canada during the war years and joined the Royal Canadian Air Force directly out of high school. She later resigned her commission to study veterinary medicine at the University of Guelph, Ontario. She has travelled much of western Europe, the USA, and most of Canada, and speaks three foreign languages badly. In October 2009 she retired from active veterinary practice.
