    E.J. Wolfson

    E.J. Wolfson is both Canadian and Swiss. She has been writing all her life but inspiration for stories and poems these days comes from having lived in four different countries, with her husband, two children (now grown and married) and a stray dog they found along the way. She currently resides in Switzerland where she writes, as well as designs and edits an international women's club magazine. She loves to discover-to walk and hike, and to travel, especially to all the Medieval villages in Europe.
