Kae Elgie, This Land.
Kae Elgie, This Land.
 Kae Elgie grew up on a 200-acre farm at Dawn Mills in Camden Gore Township. Although she currently lives in Waterloo, the fact that three of her five siblings and several nieces and nephews and their children live in Chatham-Kent keeps her keenly interested and connected to the land where she grew up. She is Past Board Chair of Architectural Conservancy Ontario, a provincial charity which encourages the conservation and reuse of buildings, districts and landscapes of architectural, historic or cultural significance. It’s an organization which has allowed her to put interest in heritage and her passion for making it accessible to others, into practice. Her pre-retirement work as Manager, Information Technology for Region of Waterloo Library and her ongoing learning about how data is organized greatly helped her family history and genealogy research work. Her stint as a reporter-photographer for the Petrolia Advertiser-Topic and North Lambton Sun newspapers honed her writing skills.

Emma Stack
Emma Stack
The past has bewitched Emma Stack for as long as she can remember. Some of her most treasured childhood memories consist of cannons, musket demonstrations, and standing on various fort ramparts, imagining what it was like hundreds of years ago. The adventures of her childhood led her to obtain a degree in history and eventually, a degree in education to teach history at the high school level. It is also not surprising, but somewhat coincidental that she ended up marrying an artillery soldier and presently lives in Alvinston, Ontario. For Emma, writing allows her to blend historical accuracy with her creativity and imagination. Canadian history has always been her constant source of inspiration, with its enthralling and exciting history just waiting to make it into the genre of historical romance.
