Alma Fullerton was born in Ottawa Ontario, as one of seven children. Her dad was in the military so they moved when his postings changed, first to Trenton when she was two, then to Comox when she was twelve. Being dyslexic she couldn't read until grade four and didn't enjoy reading at all until grade nine she discovered books that she really loved. Now, as an award winning author Alma speaks at schools stressing to children they can overcome any obstacle.
