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 teen issues, uniquely Canadian settings and yes, a little bit of romance.

She also loves mentoring emerging writers as they strive to reach their dreams.
