Featured Interview With Denise Svajlenko
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I was raised in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada where I lived for most of my life and also raised my children. I now live on the water in a smaller town called Bowmanville, Ontario.
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I have been a voracious reader my entire life. I started going to the library as a child and would fill my bags full with books every week. I continued going to the library throughout my adulthood and introduced this weekly outing to my children. I started writing non-fiction articles in my thirties that I eventually sold to newspapers and magazines. My articles were about my travels or life events. I had a different career in Human Resources management for 30 years while raising my family, and I returned to my writing passion a couple of years ago after I retired.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
I love to read non-fiction memoirs and biographies and my favorite authors are Glennon Doyle, Elizabeth Gilbert, Joyce Maynard, Anne Lamott to name a few.
Tell us a little about your latest book?
My book, Evolving: My Lessons of Self-Discovery is my spiritual journey of awakening. I take a deep dive into understanding all of the significant relationships and events in my life and the lessons that I learned from all of them. The themes in my book are universal as everyone has good and bad things that happen to them and I provide readers with a blueprint to review and understand their lives.
