P.A. Woodburn

I was born in Northern Ireland, but I have lived in USA since 1968.
The job I had for the longest time was being a financial worker in the Department of Health and Social Services.

The job I liked the best was working for Greenpeace as a fundraiser.
I am now semi-retired, but I work part time as a caregiver. Although I work as a caregiver I consider writing as my main occupation and will continue to do that as long as I can.

I have always read extensively and I like animals. I love to travel, but can't afford to do that as often as I would like.  I live on an island in the state of Washington with my husband, a Saint Bernard and a cat. I like living on an island. There is something mysterious about it. I think the reason that most of us read is that we get bored with our everyday lives and want to experience something new. Reading is the only thing we can do that doesn't cost an excessive amount of money. Other places I have lived are England, Scotland, Tripolii and Egypt, Hawaii and Alaska.  I always try to live close to the water and somewhere that is very scenic. That was more important to me than getting a great job.
