WINNER OF 2017 BEST CANADIAN EMERGING WRITER AWARD!

2018 ONTARIO ARTS COUNCIL WRITERS GRANT AWARD!

DEE WILLSON, felt the writer’s call at fifteen, when she penned her first novel and received her first rejection letter to go with it. Over twenty years later, with two successful businesses under her belt (both with Canada’s largest book retailer, Indigo Books), Dee Willson rekindled her passion for novels. She joined a hard-core book club, published short stories and interviews, contributed to blogs, and wrote the novel A Keeper’s Truth, followed by GOT (Gift of Travel). Dee is presently working on the second instalment in the Keeper’s series, and Meant 2 B, a crazy ghost story riddled with fate.

Dee and her husband currently reside in

UnCon

Just returned from the Writer UnBoxed Conference in Boston. I can honestly say, after the uber intense week studying the craft of writing, I have learned a ton! I have always been a sponge when it comes to writing, and this conference fed that need. Now, I need to get a new laptop (my current laptop died the night before the conference!) so I can apply what I learned to my WIP, No Apology For Bein Read more of this blog post »

“FEAR IS JUST EXCITEMENT IN NEED OF AN ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT”
Dee Willson, A Keeper's Truth

“Write because you HAVE to, because you LOVE to, because there is no other way you'd want to spend your time. Life is too short for any other scenario.”
Dee Willson

“Darwinism, which is rooted in the assumption that all existence is matter-based, cannot account for the most human characteristic of all, consciousness. The human mind is capable of far more than necessary for mere survival. Why?”
Dee Willson, A Keeper's Truth

“FEAR IS JUST EXCITEMENT IN NEED OF AN ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT”
Dee Willson, A Keeper's Truth

“Write because you HAVE to, because you LOVE to, because there is no other way you'd want to spend your time. Life is too short for any other scenario.”
Dee Willson

“Recent studies have shown that approximately 40% of authors are manic depressive. The rest of us just drink.”
Melodie Campbell, Rowena Through the Wall

“Hug and kiss whoever helped get you - financially, mentally, morally, emotionally - to this day. Parents, mentors, friends, teachers. If you're too uptight to do that, at least do the old handshake thing, but I recommend a hug and a kiss. Don't let the sun go down without saying thank you to someone, and without admitting to yourself that absolutely no one gets this far alone.”
Stephen King

“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”
Albert Einstein
