Summary of Writing History
A Short Biography
Since my first interview article with a band at a high school dance
in 1966, I have written for newspapers, organizations, promoters,
presenters, performing artists, television, and national magazines across Canada. In addition, I have written for all my own promotion, for community
events and concerts, reports for community projects, newsletters,
and stories.

Rosemary's Publications
My own book “Sliced
Bread – Notes from a Baker’s Rebel Daughter,”
was published by Loonbook in 1999, and the children’s
story and song “One
Seed” ,
which was published in 2002, has been presented for schools, family concerts and literacy fairs around British Columbia. I have also
written many songs, some of which are recorded on “Homemade
with Rosemary”, Me and My Guitar, Kids' Stuff and the single release Asha (Hope) that includes instructions for a beautiful circle dance. These publications are all now available as downloads in PDF and MP3 formats, except "Sliced Bread".
“The
Cost of Cheating Death” was an article written about the real cost of health care in the province of British Columbia. Written as a fantasy it also gives details of costs from use of drugs to doctors to hospital beds - in 2003 prices of a subsidized system - so the prices are not what you might call "real". The article was printed in the Vancouver Sun
on March 10, 2003, page A13. It received incredible feedback, touched nerves of some, and yet had great support from many who care for those who are dying.
