Her most recent publications include her debut adult novel “The Lightkeeper’s Daughters” which was released July 2017 and became an instant bestseller in Canada, as well as “Me and You and the Red Canoe”, a quiet lyrical picture book set in northern Ontario. She was shortlisted for the Governor General’s Award and the 2014 TD Canadian Children’s Literature Award for “Once Upon a Northern Night”.

She lives in the shadow of the Nor’Wester Mountains near Lake Superior and draws inspiration for her stories from the rich history, culture and geography of the area. She has three adult children, a loveable mutt, and a coop of temperamental chickens, all occasionally tormented by visiting deer, foxes, wolves and bears.
