There just comes a time in your grief that you reconcile. Read-“A Walk Through the Desert”
I am reclaiming who I was. Starting over so to speak.
Ive done the hard work. Ive felt the pain and now as I look to the remaining years of my life I want to start over. Re-invent myself one more time. Ive had a lot of ‘mes”. A mom, a daughter, a grandmom, a sister, a friend. Ive worked at many ‘jobs’ as a Realtor, Store Owner and Operator, Editor, Publisher, Writing Instructor but at the core of it all I have been a writer. I invented a lot of jobs so I could be a writer. Written over 30 plays and produced them. Published 4 magazines. Published 4 books and 3 more self-published. There is no end to my writing. I can do that until the day I die.
So to gather up all the Gwynnes-the writer, the mentor and activist, the researcher, the teacher, the promoter, organizer . . I have been busy, I put them all in one place. I put up a new website
gwynne-hunt-investigative-storyteller.ca
I will continue to write my blogs here. The website is to gather my books and services together in one place. You can buy my books

About Gwynne Hunt gwynne1@telus.net
I am a writer, activist, producer, director and creative performance artist. My new book Through My Lens is based on newspaper clippings going back to 1928; the stories in-between the clippings are about my mom Gunvor Berglund, my step-dad Ronald Robinson and my DNA father Harold Larsen. How did they come together to make me? Some of the research was shocking, some funny but it left me to define the parts of the story I did not know. a tribute to my three parents. My last book, Unlocking the Tin box is about my journey into trying to find our who I was, who my father was; a complicated con man and a carny. But he was more than that and the journey took me as far as doing DNA tests, digging through his old tin box and an examination of my own life. Published by Silver Bow Publishing, available from the Publisher, Amazon and the Author.
Fifteen years ago, the book ‘Rampage; the pathology of an epidemic’ written by me was released at the International Celebration of Women in Abbotsford. The book is my personal journey over six years working on the book and the Memory March (a walk/vigil honouring over 4,000 missing and murdered women and children in Canada). It includes interviews with grassroots' workers she met. There are a lot of individual, concerned people who work to end violence against women. One of those women is Mary Billy, a writer and activist in Squamish. There are interviews, case stories and conversations with family member’s who have lost loved ones. The book is not about how we are going to end the violence but an examination of the problems, concerns and stereotypical thinking that keeps us trapped in a cycle of violence. Included are the names of 4,000 missing and murdered women and children that have been compiled for The List. Other books include bruises & bad haircuts (poetry) and Bob & Boo.
