About Wanda Lambeth
Wanda Lambeth was born a prairie girl although she longed for oceans and mountains from the time she took her first trip as a child to the West Coast. Life took her on several surprising and death-defying twists and turns to arrive safely and much wiser on Vancouver Island in 1998. These life experiences, combined with a varied selection of business and freelance writing courses at the University of Saskatchewan and Discovery College, led Wanda to a career as a freelance magazine writer and aspiring novelist.
She also loves riding motorcycles and helps her husband with his custom bike business plus they own Cool Canes Inc. where they personally design rock-your-world kinds of walking canes for bikers and other unique individuals. Writing stays at the top of the list and Wanda is currently a contributor for various publications such as Horses All, Western Producer, Grit, Nostalgia, Hearts of the Country and Our Canada. Her writing has mainly focused on farm topics and ancestral memories but she is branching into exploring life through her own experiences, and those of others who choose to live close to the edge. She is currently working on a fiction novel and worshipping Stephen King’s entire collection for the third time.
Wanda's favorite quote (origin lost in time) is: Remember that amateurs built the Ark and professionals built the Titanic. When faced with the two options, Low Risk or High Risk, always choose High Risk and live in the moment when you get there.
