Isobel Raven remembers World War II (When are we going to win, Daddy?); Dior's "new look" (a feature of my Grade 9 wardrobe); "the Pill" (free love and then AIDS); Y2K (a Chicken Little thing, for sure); and, since 2000, the maelstrom of doom and gloom.She completed a BA at Western University and an MA at UBC. After retirement, winning an honourable mention in a short story contest caused Isobel to say, "I got this!" and begin writing in earnest. Undaunted by the lack of any more easy successes, she published The Future of Fonics, a non-fiction work, in 2005. A Flower for Allie: Country Stories, City stories followed in 2010, and Out of the Roons, the precursor to WEAVING the TIMES, in 2019.
