Mary Milne

about

Mary Milne was born in the month of May on top of a hill on a small island in Canada. The island had been shipped to the country packed in straw and gauloise cigarettes sometime in the early 1600's. At the time of her birth a general malaise permeated it's cobblestone streets and Mary's family decided it would be best to move. They spent the next few years living in a renovated chicken coop in the nouveau French countryside. On especially windy days the outhouse would blow over. Mary attended several schools in several towns over the next few years where she failed to be taught anything of practical value, such as the basics of auto mechanics, how to butcher your own livestock or how to play the guitar. She did learn the recorder at a young age and spent a brief period of time as a street musician in the small hamlet of Dewitville, but never made any real money due to the fact that the case was just too small. Throughout her childhood Mary spent summers and holidays on the shores of lake Baptiste in a cabin painted onto the landscape by her grandfather, a painter of landscapes. It was here, during the long cicada-driven hours of summer, that she began to write, scribbling stories onto birchbark and etching small poems onto toadstools. After high school Mary traveled to many places such as Europe and Wisconsin. She developed a passion for cheap motels and unemployment. This passion was, unfortunately, unsustainable and she was forced to get a variety of odd jobs. She became
