Pauline Edwards

Biography

Pauline Edwards was raised on Vancouver Island, BC. She learned transcendental meditation as a child, and has been following a spiritual path, collecting crystals, and composing poems since before she could spell. Her poems deal with the themes of dreams, consciousness, and spirituality. Pauline received her B.Sc in Linguistics from the University of Victoria in 2007, and then worked closely with the Indigenous people of British Columbia on language revitalization efforts for many years. Pauline currently enjoys sipping her morning coffee in the beautiful coastal temperate rainforest of Vancouver, British Columbia - traditional territories of the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations.

Smashwords Interview

What motivated you to become an indie author?
I've always loved the craft of making books. Going from handwriting chapbooks to self-publishing just seemed like the natural way to go. I love the creative control it allows.
What is the greatest joy of writing for you?
All the completely ridiculous ideas that pop into my head when I'm trying to come up with good rhymes, synonyms, metaphors, etc. It can get pretty absurd sometimes the things that will occur to me. It's fun!
