About the Author

SeaJuel is a retired care giver, wife, mother, grandmother and was the captain of her boat the JilleeBreeze. Now as a photographer, she sells prints and cards of spectacular Vancouver Island, both landscapes and of the creatures that get in the way of her lens. Years ago, when her son was being teased, SeaJuel was inspired to write Howl. 30 years later her grandchildren helped refresh the story. In her free time, she loves to take photos, write, sing, play video games, hike, camp, forage, garden, and go beach combing. She can often be found with at least one rock or shell in her pocket! Her most important and enjoyable pastime, however, is spending time with her husband, son, daughter-in-law and grandkids. SeaJuel lives in South Duncan, B.C., Canada, with her best friend and husband, Dan, and their cats.
