Anne Hamre

I love writing. That is, I love writing articles on interesting topics with meaty subjects. My first writing love is history, but I also love writing about politics, the environment, biography and doing book reviews.

I have a B.A. in history, (from U.B.C.), a M.A. in military strategy from Carleton University, and a M.B.A from the University of Alberta, with a specialty in Government Studies. I also love to travel and always take extensive notes and pictures with the view to writing travel articles when I return home. In late April of this year my husband and I are going to France for two weeks; we will be spending time in both Paris and Provence, so there should be lots of material.

I have been making my living as a writer for many years. I worked as a system tester and a technical writer for the Provincial Government for several years, as well as in the public sector. After beating cancer six years ago, I decided to try free lance writing. Currently, I contribute on an ongoing basis to the magazine "Condo Living," as well as to the website Associated Content. I also write for the "Edmonton Journal", and the websites Helium and Triond.

I am also working on a novel dealing with pioneer life in the Fraser Valley, B.C. I still have a long way to go, but eight chapters have been reviewed
