Author Maggie Jansen has been sober since 2006, something she never would have imagined possible during her drinking years. With an Honours English Degree from the University of Waterloo and a certificate in Creative Writing from the University of Toronto’s School of Continuing Education, Maggie has worked in libraries, bookstores, and publishing (co-op), has taught adult “English as a Second Language” courses, and has written press releases for public relations and special events (in addition to the various jobs referenced in her memoir).
She currently lives with David, her recently retired husband of thirty-five years, and their mini-Australian shepherd in three different places: their home in Mississauga, which was their main residence when she hit bottom; “Periwinkle,” the cottage they built on Chandos Lake; and in Kauai. They also have a camper van in which they have driven across Canada several times.
They have two adult daughters, and a granddaughter.
