Mariette Ulrich is a homemaker and freelance writer. She lives in western Canada with her husband and six of their seven children. Mariette holds an Honours B.A. in English Literature (University of Saskatchewan). While awaiting the commencement of her M.A. studies, she worked briefly writing ad copy for radio.

Her columns and articles have appeared in various journals, newspapers and magazines in Canada, the U.S., England and Australia. Her interests include politics, culture, gardening, baking and ballroom dancing; her passions: faith, family and costume drama adaptations of 19th century literary classics.
