| Bio | ANNE M. SMITH-NOCHASAK grew up in rural Nova Scotia and was a waitress, nursing home worker, and many other things before turning to teaching. She taught in high school, elementary, and resource programs, mainly in northern and isolated Indigenous communities. The acceptance and partnership there on the learning journey brought her greatest joy in teaching. Her son traveled with her for many years, but as an adult returned to his northern birthplace. She now resides in rural Nova Scotia. A Canoer of Shorelines, her first novel, began as the story of a haunted farmhouse, but as the characters grew, she realized that it was a story of forgiveness, acceptance, and love. Her second novel, released in 2022, is story of youthful love that finds a surprising fulfilment in the senior years. |
