I was born in Newfoundland and have lived all my life here — a place that fills my imagination, exhilarates me and drives me to despair. My parents, Sadie Vincent of Cape Island, Bonavista Bay, and William Vardy of Random Island, Trinity Bay, came into St. John’s during the Depression. Stories about the outposts they left behind provided the background for my novels, Random Passages and Waiting for Time. Wartime St. John’s is the setting for most of the stories in my third book, Topography of Love, and I hope the novel I am now working on will lead me eventually into St. John’s of 2005.
