Marie-Lynn Hammond

I’m an air force brat; got my love of storytelling from my Franco-Ontarian maman; became a singer-songwriter, with detours through playwriting and broadcasting; now work mostly as a writer and editor. My remaining sister and my niece make life worthwhile, along with all critters great and small and my dream of someday doing flying changes on a little black horse. Why this essay? Because I want humans to remember we’re animals too and ought to stop fouling our nest. Because maybe you don’t need a guru, a therapist or a million bucks; maybe all you need is a cat.
