About Myrtle
Drawn to Water
Myrtle has always been drawn to water and is happiest when she is near the sea. Fortunately, she has been close to water all her life and was lucky to have had a life partner who also enjoyed the ocean.
Readers of her books will gain a better understanding of the impact oceans have had on her life, from earliest days to the present.
Love of Books
Myrtle Rae Forberg Siebert's deep appreciation for books came during her childhood when she lived in a floathouse along the BC coast.
No School, No Library
Where her family lived, there was no school and certainly no library. The only option was to take her lessons by correspondence, seated at the kitchen table and guided by her mother as the teacher.
