As a directdescendant of one of the first 1753 settlers of Lunenburg, her passion for history moved her towrite her first self-published novel, Call of a Distant Shore, which won the Silver Medal forCanada East, Best Fiction 2009, from the Independent Publisher Book Awards. Soon after, shebegan a comprehensive journey that led her to write Tethered Spirits.Corinne loves the mysterious, mystical, and diverse world we live in and believes thatjust because we cannot see it does not mean it does not exist-it simply has not been discoveredyet. She is an anomaly who does not own a microwave, dishwasher, or cellphone. Her lifeencompasses lively games with her bridge friends; her love of gardening where things grow,buzz, and crawl, with a visit most mornings from her helper, the neighbour cat; practising TaiChi; and hiking with her husband through hemlock forests and unspoiled nature trails in out-of-the-way places.A member of the Writers' Federation of Nova Scotia, Corinne lives in the AnnapolisValley with her Dutch husband and a British Blue cat named Toby who is happiest when he isfed, loved, and has a clean litter box and a warm lap.
