Marie Powell’s adventures in castle-hopping across North Wales to explore her family roots resulted in the YA Fantasy series Last of the Gifted (wooddragonbooks.com/marie-powell). The series, containing the books Spirit Sight and Water Sight, will be released this summer and fall respectively, thanks to funding from Creative Saskatchewan.
Marie is the author of 40 traditionally published children’s books, and her award-winning short stories and poetry appear in such literary magazines as subTerrain and Room. Among other degrees, she holds a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in Creative Writing from the University of BC. The author lives on Treaty 4 land in Regina, Saskatchewan, and gives popular writing workshops across the region. Find her at mariepowell.ca.
