Irene Allison

Irene, a former technical communicator, author and teacher, practiced for years in France, Italy, the UK, and Canada, and taught in the Writing and Publishing Program at Simon Fraser University, a program from which she also graduated. Today Irene writes stories about healing from the heart. She has a Post Graduate Certificate in Creative Writing from Humber College (Toronto) and has attended both the Arvon Institute (Scotland) and UBC's Booming Ground (Vancouver). These days, after a stint of living on the remote edge of nowhere, Irene is happy to have returned from the wilderness to settle with her mountain-man-husband on a lovely (and mostly civilized) Canadian island where there's not a single predator in sight!
