Lalonde; in 1990 I was twenty-three years old when I was in a car accident, which triggered a brain stem infarction, an aneurysm I suffered four months later.
For the first year I was paralyzed from the neck down and I was in four different hospitals. The last hospital I was in was the GF Strong Rehabilitation Center in Vancouver B.C, Canada. I stayed at this rehabilitation facility for twenty-two months over a three-year period and slowly regained comprehendable speech and muscle control. Now 21 years later I walk short distances with a walker or cane but for longer distances I use an electronic wheelchair.
In 1992 I took a course in Journalism/Creative writing through correspondence through the Universal Career Institute based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada and graduated in 1993. I lived in the small town of Creston B.C where I wrote numerous poems and short stories but then I wanted to continue my education.
I moved to Vancouver, B.C to take my GED in the summer of 1995. But because of volunteering and other time-consuming activities over the following years, I wasn’t able to get into College until the fall of 2000 and I graduated in the spring of 2003.
My interest in writing started at a very early age but because of starting a family and circumstances beyond my control I wasn’t able to pursue that career choice until after I suffered the aneurysm. Since moving to Vancouver my physical conditition has improved a great deal, and I have written numerous novels but as of right now I have one ready for publication, titled: Wings of Time.ver menos
