About Shereen Vedam

​

MY PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE

​

"Sometimes the unattainable can, in fact, be obtained."

​

​My name is Shereen Vedam and I was born on a tiny paradise island called Ceylon, later renamed Sri Lanka.

​

My mother was a grade school teacher by day, and by night became a put-upon mom of a wandering child. My father traveled around the world looking for a walkie-talkie doll for a child who loved to do both.

​

My family moved me to Canada in the hopes of satisfying my wanderlust and teaching me restraint, but all too soon I moved across the country in search of brand new adventures.

​

I finally landed on Vancouver Island, a new paradise all my own, filled with people and pets and plants (including an awesome giant Weeping Sequoia) that nurture my love of reading, writing and dreaming.

​

Inspired in the past by outstanding fantasy authors such as Andre Norton, Anne McCaffrey, and Terry Brooks, I now devour books by Martha Wells, Terry Pratchett, and Hilari Bell.
