Bimi Atwater-Watson has had as eclectic a life as her stories. Traveling over much of the world, and living in eight different U.S. states, offered experience, and opportunity for observation of differences in cultures, customs, and realities of life. During her life, became certified as an Emergency Medical Technician, studied silver smithing, cabinet making and auto mechanics, raised a daughter, worked in libraries, schools, churches, and as a music contractor; took thousands of photographs, played the bagpipes, wrote poetry, essays, stories, painted watercolors, and did home repair and remodeling.
