About the author:

Donna Morrissey has written five vivid novels cradled in the Newfoundland culture and yet universal in the emotional upheaval and transcending of its characters.
She has received awards in Canada, the U.S. and England and her novel, Sylvanus Now, was shortlisted for the Commonwealth Prize.
Reviewers have compared her depictions of Newfoundland’s terrain and people to the worlds summoned up by Hardy and Faulkner.
Donna’s fiction has been translated into several different languages.
She is also a scriptwriter:  Clothesline Patch (a short story) won a Gemini for best production and was nominated for best writing.
This past year she released a children's story, Cross Katie Kross, that was illustrated by her daughter, Bridgette.
And she released her latest novel, The Deception of Livvy Higgs which has been shortlisted for the Ontario Evergreen Library Award and The Dartmouth Book Award, and the prestigious Atlantic Canada Award, The Raddal. (Rad-dal)
