Val McDowall
Bio: Born in the seaside town of Kirkcaldy and raised a stone throw from the East Coast of Central Scotland in the county of Fife, I was always fascinated by the strange and the paranormal. Anything supernatural soon captured my curiosity and held my attention and, lucky for me, the local history of where I grew up is steeped with gory stories of witchcraft and sorcery that I heartily absorbed and which fuelled my vivid imagination. I emigrated from Scotland in October 2007 to Edmonton, Alberta in the Prairies of Canada where I lived with my husband and cuddly black cat for 6 years until relocating to the West Coast of British Columbia in the summer of 2013.
