Maxine Trottier is the award-winning author of numerous picture books, novels and non-fiction works. She was born in Grosse Point Farms, Michigan, and moved to Canada with her family at the age of ten. She became a Canadian citizen when in her early 20s. A former educator with 31 years of experience in the elementary classroom, Maxine is a graduate of the University of Western Ontario who lives and works in Port Stanley, Ontario. Her interest in Canadian history has taken her writing from New France, to the far North, to the prairies and to the West Coast in search of stories. These tales became books about Canada. Native People, the Métis, les filles du roi and immigrant homesteaders all walk their pages. Her inspiration has often been that of her family — French habitants who arrived here in the mid-17th century. From them come her Métis blood and her love of history. Maxine lives with her husband, William, in Port Stanley, Ontario, during the winter. In the summer she may be found writing aboard their sloop Windseeker I.
