These facts are especially for you, Keith!

My name is Wynn Currie and I live on the Magdalen Islands, in Canada. I have worked as a journalist for many years as well as other job titles. I have been published several times other than writing for the weekly. Lately I have taken up free-lancing for the Canadian Press, which I consider to be a boost to my ego and talents. I am considered bilingual in both official Canadian languages.

In the past:
1. I graduated college (health sciences - vet medicine) and finished three years university (vet medicine - computer sciences) before the money ran out.
2. I traveled through seven European countries without a passport.
3. I was a parade princess for the Calgary Stampede one year.
4. My first job was selling roses at Calgary bars before I was legally old enough to be there.
5. I did my seventh school year in four different schools and three different languages.
6. I have one son whom I am so proud of.
7. I have never been married.
