I live in British Columbia, Canada. Although I've had multiple careers, some form of writing has always been part of my life. I started out being a part of the corporate world as a marketing manager. I then switched gears and became owner and operator of hunting and fishing resort in the north. Next I became a residential and commercial real estate agent as well as co-owner and managing broker of a franchise firm. The common thread throughout the years has been writing.
I have contributed to local papers on a variety of topics as well as a national magazine primarily on the real estate topic. I also have a writing site called www.placetoreadandwrite.com where I post my articles as well as those of others.
I wrote and edited a real estate book entitled The Real Estate Process: Pros Discuss Buying & Selling Your Home to empower the consumer when buying or selling. My blog http://www.askvibrown.com answers frequently asked real estate questions.
Recently, I have done 2 more books - one anthology with 4 other writers and one solo about the people who run businesses, the community volunteers as well as the municipal council in a small town. I formatted, designed the cover and took the photographs both inside and the cover photos. It has been a fun exercise.
I have traveled extensively and have particularly enjoyed Kenya and Tanzania and its magnificent wild life. I also do photography and this combines nicely with my writings.
I am a graduate of York University in Toronto, Canada and continue to be a perpetual student.
