"let's- get- writing" prompts. Suzy has 3 kids music cds to her credit and 2 for

in glass at the new LynnValley Library and having another poem used by an
international organization on a poster for peace.
Christy Hill:
Originally from the Eastern Townships in Quebec , Christy grew up in a rustic
log cabin in a remote landscape where only a few channels flickered on a black
and white screen. Combined with an alternative education this way of living
provided Christy with ample time to look inward and develop creatively which she
holds close to her heart today. Writing continues to provide the perfect outlet
for her ambitious imagination and combines her love of sound and language. She
is constantly searching for the depth that literature provides. In her extra
time Christy can be found writing short fiction and poetry. She participates in
The Word Whips Writing Series, Word Whips The North Shore Edition and also runs
a bi-weekly writing group, The Cellar Door. She can be found making her foray
into the Vancouver writing scene at open mics and readings. Writing ties in
nicely with Christy’s small business, Chill Factor Communications. She creates
editorial illustrations, graphic design and web sites. Her illustration work has
graced many fine North American newspapers and magazines.
