Labyrinth Quest

Yvonne Hertzberger is a native of the Netherlands who immigrated to Canada in 1950. She is married with two grown children, both married, and one grandchild. She resides quietly in Stratford, Ontario with her spouse, Mark, in a 130 year old, tiny, brick cottage, where she plans to live out her retirement. She calls herself a jill-of-all-trades. Her many past paid jobs included banking, day care, residential care for challenged children, hairdressing (her favourite), retail, and customer service. She enjoys gardening, singing, the theatre, decorating and socializing with friends and family. Hertzberger is an alumna of The University of Waterloo, first with a B.A. in psychology, then and Hon. B.A. Sociology and stopped 1/2 a thesis short of an M.A. in Sociology. She has always been an avid student of human behaviour. This is what gives her the insights she uses to develop the characters in her writing. Hertzberger came to writing late in life, hence the label ’late bloomer’. Her first Fantasy novel ＂Back From Chaos: Book One of Earth’s Pendulum＂ was published in 2009. The second volume in the trilogy ＂Through Kestrel’s Eyes＂ arrived in 2011 and the third and final volume, The Dreamt Child is now available. Labyrinth Quest is her fourth book, a Stand alone, also fitting into the Magic Realism category, as is the Earth’s Pendulum trilogy
