Kaimana Wolff has been writing, thinking, travelling, loving, and living since her birth, which is a year we will not reveal.
Throughout her many travels she has been all over the world, it seems, and has made her home in many places. Born in Holland, as a toddler she emigrated to Canada with her parents. Since then she has been everywhere, doing everything, and never without her dogs.
At age 12 Kaimana wrote a “really terrible” novel called Flying Hooves. (Kaimana’s mother maintains that the novel was wonderful.) Kaimana’s grand-father translated it into Dutch and it was published serially in the Harlingen newspaper. “I should have known then that I was a novelist,” she says of it now.
Kaimana resides on the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia, in Powell River, where she is involved in community writerly things such as Immanence Magazine or the Powell River Writers Conference.
She enjoys good wine, coffee and chocolate with her morning read, spending time with Tyee the wolf-dog, writing, and philosophizing about the end of the world as we know it (TEOTWAKI).

Kaimana’s family has always been spiritually attached to wolves, and and so her aumakua (a Hawaiian word meaning “family totem”) is the wolf. Hence the last name “Wolff”. “Kaimana” is Hawaiian for “diamond” or “power of the ocean”.
