About the Author: Brenda Pander-Stowe. Writing and telling stories are a craft Pander-Stowe has been developing her entire life. From notepads of childhood imaginings to journalism in the Caribbean, writing vivid tourism pieces and then returning to Canada and publishing three hardcover coffee table books on her home province. Her portfolio includes features on tall ships, sailing regattas, tourism, First Nation art, music and culture as well as human interest. In development is a children's book series "Toucan Jan... Life in the Islands, ... Goes Sailing... Underwater Adventures... Limin' at the Carnival." A youth novel, "Sweet Revenge," is about to be published and an adult fiction novel is in final edits, "Caribbean Ties." The Toucan Jan series was created with another Canadian, the talented illustrator and artist, David Thrasher, who lived on the same island. The four rhyming books cover adventures above and below the sea as well as catchin' a little lime at a Carnival. Pander-Stowe experienced the intense interest from her little friends when she lived in the Caribbean and visited Canada and that is where the basis of the storylines originated. Life in the Islands is the first in the series."Caribbean Ties" is an adult tale weaving through the sunny islands and sometimes turbulent seas of the Caribbean. The novel twists on a loop through Canada, the tropical paradise of the West Indies and across the big pond to France as lives are both connected and destroyed. Fiction writing tops the list of my favourites. Such a great escape to create. "Sweet Revenge" examines the bittersweet practice of revenge from two tween plot masters. Has been found to make one laugh hysterically. "Classic Saskatchewan," "Classic Saskatchewan Second Edition" and "Saskatchewan: A New View" are the hardcover informational resources series produced and published by Pander-Stowe, the first in Canada to introduce these resources into select hotels; retail versions were sent all over the world. Raised in Saskatchewan Canada, she left home for adventure and after a few years in Toronto, she made a big move to a tiny island. Based in the British Virgin Islands for 15 years she travelled the Caribbean chain as a journalist and Caribbean Public Relations rep and was lucky enough to sail on many tall ships and yachts. In 2002, she returned home to Canada and produced the three hardcover books mentioned above and then went on to freelancing, all the while advancing her own books. Currently she is starting to plan a hardcover coffee table book on the Caribbean as well as creating a collection of her work into a website. She is also the co-creator of "Working Wellness."Brenda Pander-Stowe is now landlocked but lakeside in the heart of the prairies with her husband and two children.
