or say: Judith Lapadat who was raised in Smithers:author of Mixed Messages.

Doris Ray lives in Fraser Lake:her book is The Ghosts Behind Him. She has published two chapbooks of poetry.

Born in England, Margaret Thompson immigrated to Canada. She lives in the village of Fort St. James, BC. Her first book, Squaring the Circle was published in 1992.
Margaret Thompson is also the author of Hide and Seek.
