Lois Donovan
Lois Donovan is a former teacher and the author of two Canadian time-travel novels, Winds of L’Acadie, which was shortlisted for the Hackmatack Award and was a Best Book for Kids and Teens and The Journal, a Calgary Herald #1 Best Seller. Both are published with Ronsdale Press. She is represented by Stacey Kondla at The Rights Factory. Her current projects feature contemporary teens, uniquely Canadian settings and, yes, a little bit of romance. Her most recent project features a cross-Canada train trek. Lois’s childhood included a lot of travel by train, which was the spark that inspired the YA train adventure.
Lois has lived in four Canadian provinces and travelled to ten. The territories are still calling. Lois is inspired to write its stories, both past and present. From book clubs to classrooms and teachers’ conventions, Lois enjoys meeting readers and writers of all ages, sharing her passion for stories and the writing process. She also loves mentoring emerging writers as they strive to reach their dreams. www.loisdonovan.com
