Family and Friends
If you are a family member or friend, here’s the most special gift you will ever find for your loved one.

Retirement Gift
A book of photos and stories from coworkers makes an amazing and unique retirement gift.

Custom Packages and travel to your home
Custom packages can be designed to meet your needs. Short or long stories, just a few, or many – we can create a unique package for you.
Sometimes, clients prefer to work on an hourly basis. One hour of interview time requires approximately three to four hours of follow up – transcribing and basic editing time. It depends on how the stories roll out.
I travel to anywhere in the world to write life stories.
A beautiful book!
Add in some photographs, and we can create a beautiful self-published book. A soft cover, or hard cover book, or some of each depending on your preferences. Once the layout of the book is completed, I can order the book(s) for you and they are generally shipped within ten days. There are many different levels of publishing quality but the last book I published (December 2015) had 44 pages (pearl finish) and cost only $34.00 to print.

A Life Story is a Gift…
There is no greater gift than sharing the experiences and wisdom of a lifetime with family and friends. How do family members know who they are if they don’t know where they came from – their roots? But the challenge is in getting started.
It is sometimes difficult to write about yourself in a detached manner that provides an interesting read for others. Many people put off this activity and never find the time. With some encouragement and a good guide, however, it can be a pleasant and rewarding journey to tell your own unique story.
I live on Vancouver Island and can travel to record your memories of past events and the people who have made your life special. In the comfort of your home this process will be relaxing and enjoyable. It will no doubt be fun too! We will add photos and special documents if applicable, and then we will have your story professionally printed.
What a gift – for you, your family, the next generations, and friends! Can you imagine holding the book in your hands, seeing it on your coffee table, in your bookcase, reading stories to your grandchildren? It will be much cherished.
How often have you wished that your forebears had left written stories of their lives? A family tree may appeal to some, and facts may appeal to others, but stories are how we get to know people and the times in which they lived.
You may not think you have led an exceptional life, but I am sure that through this process, you will end up thinking otherwise. You will have fun, perhaps shed some tears, and remember details you may have forgotten, but overall, you will be thankful that you made this journey into your past. It will be the creation of a special legacy for your sons and daughters, grandchildren and great grandchildren, or friends; they will be so grateful that your stories are preserved.
Let’s begin the journey today!
