CATHERINE M.A. WIEBE was born in the town of Simcoe, Ontario, and now lives, writes, and tries to recreate her grandmothers' food in Hamilton. She is a recent graduate of the Arts and Science Program at McMaster University, and has been writing (with a few other jobs on the side) since before her graduation. She is married to Tim, and they live in a little brick cottage with a yellow door and a fledgling garden outside.
