DCB Jones Journal

Who I am, what I do, and why. I'm a writer, I write for children, because they're the most important people on earth.

About Me

My photo
Diane C B Jones, TSSF
Vancouver, BC, Canada
When I retired from teaching at Vancouver Community College, I decided to start a new career, doing what I'd always dreamt of doing: writing. So, I took a couple of writing courses and started to write for children. Maxim Gogol said that writing for children was easy. You just have to write the same as for adults, only better. So it's a challenge and a joy. On May 30, 2009 (Day of Pentecost), I was life professed as a Third Order Franciscan.
