About the authors
"Myrna Guymer combines her life-long love of the outdoors with her passion for history and geography to bring life to her work. An avid sportswoman, she is a writer, researcher, educator, traveller and is prone to seeking adventures off the beaten path. Her many experiences within the Canadian Shield and abroad fire her desire to write and share.
RoseMarie Condon finds her inspiration in the Canadian wilderness and its flora and fauna. Extensive travels between the Atlantic, Pacific and Arctic oceans have taught her much about Canada and its peoples. RoseMarie is an award-winning fine artist, photographer and writer. Also an illustrator and designer, she has employed her love of whimsy to create children's games, books, toys and animated Christmas windows. RoseMarie's studio is in the jewel of the City of Kawartha Lakes, Fenelon Falls, Ontario.
