Canadian Women Authors to keep an eye on or continue to LOVE!

Ami Mckay - I haven't read her book yet (The Birth House), it hasn't been released but am eagerly anticipating it. I did how ever find her website and this woman is one of the most interesting women I have seen in quite some time. Check out her website http://www.amimckay.com/ or http://www.amimckay.blogspot.com/ and buy her book when it comes out in September.

Krista Bridge - A Toronto girl with a knack for short stories! Recently we were able to here her read from her first book 'The Virgin Spy' This is a great cottage read or for those who prefer short stories for novels. The stories are just long enough to give you time to sit back and relax! http://www.mcdermidagency.com/bridge.htm

Ann Marie Macdonald - I can't remember the last time it was so hard for me to put a book down. Fall on your Knees was just that book... Foolishly I lent it to a friend who then lent it out... so I no longer have my copy... I keep promising myself to buy another. Ann Marie also has two other books. The Way the Crow Flies and Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet) (Play). We eagerly await your next novle Ann Marie. Here is a link to her bio http://www.randomhouse.ca/catalog/author.pperl?authorid=54001

Marian Keyes - 'Gracious, humble and and real.' This is how two fellow writers described Marian Keyes when they attended a book signing. A role model to everyone! Go buy Anybody Out There? right now! Here is the official website http://www.mariankeyes.com/

Margaret Atwood - My ultimate hero. Ms. Atwood has put Canadian Women authors on the map! We all should show our appreciation to her in one way or another!!! http://www.owtoad.com/
