Murielle Cyr

Writer of contemporary and historical fiction, as well as children's stories. Author of two children's ebook, CULLOO and TURTLE WISH, a soft science fiction novel for young adults, CATORI'S WORLDS, and short stories.I am presently working on a historical fiction novel set in Canada. Soapmaker, organic gardener and listener.
Writing has always been my obsession, reading my passion.
I started creating stories in grade school and never stopped. My high school teachers would often catch me scribbling my stories during history and geography classes. The model for my evil characters in those days would be the nasty teachers who constantly bombarded me with tons of useless homework.

There was less time while the children grew up, but I managed to write after they were tucked in for the night. Some of my stories and poems made their way to literary magazines and anthologies.

My favorite activity as a primary teacher was reading aloud to the students. I would sometimes read them stories I had written for them and their fun was trying to figure out if they appeared as one of the characters. Even as adults we all want to be in someone's story.

I've always been a listener. Over the years I've tried to listen with the heart which has made me discover a chain of steep mountains and waterfalls within me. That is what I search for in my readings and try to convey in my writing.

Writing and social media consume a lot of my time, but I also enjoy my Tai Chi, making batches of handcrafted soap, experimenting with recipes I find on the internet, trying to second-guess my dogs, and lets not forget that vital reading.
