Mary M. Alward - Profile
<p>I am a fifty-five year old grandmother who has two grandsons, aged 7 and 9 years. The boys are the lights of my life. I live in southern Ontario with my husband. Our Alaskan Malamute, Meeko, delights us with our antics and is a valued member of our family.</p>
<p>I love spending time with my family, taking nature hikes, reading, needlework and spending quality time with my grandsons.</p>
<p>My second love is writing. I have been writing personal memoirs and true experiences for many years. I have had my work published in True Story and True Life.
