"If you think you can guess what might bring a vampire to tears, or reconcile a mother to raising the infant Grim Reaper, or cause artificial bees to make hand-pollinators obsolete, think again. Sally McBride's inventive plots and affecting characters will surprise and delight you." —Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author Nancy Kress

About this title

About the Author

Sally McBride has lived in Toronto, Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, Victoria, and (briefly) Florida (her cat didn't like it there). These days she divides her time between life in the mountains of Idaho (with her American husband) and city living in Toronto (close to Canadian family). In all these places, she has found supportive friends and fellow writers who get what it means to stare into the abyss trying to interpret what-ifs, if-this-goes-ons, dreams and wishes, and all the random stimuli that feed a writer's creativity. Sally has two amazing children and some equally amazing grandchildren. She enjoys skiing, reading (of course), and zipping around on her electric bike.
