About the Author

Sigrid Macdonald has always been a voracious reader, and now she reads fifty or sixty books a year for pleasure; in third grade, she took out books from the elementary school library to read for fun. Her favorite book was called The Trouble with Jenny's Ear. The "trouble" was that Jenny could hear people's thoughts! Sigrid liked the book so much that she wrote to the author, who responded to her within several months. She was thrilled and began to imagine herself writing novels.

In high school, Sigrid wrote an essay on the Icelandic sagas, which was published in Reykjavík. In her twenties, she was active in politics and began to write Letters to the Editor of the local paper, which had a wide circulation, along with op-ed pieces.

Sigrid has written two nonfiction books, which she self-published: Getting Hip: Recovery from a Total Hip Replacement and How to Be Your Own Editor. She also wrote two erotic short stories under the pseudonym Tiffanie Good, The PinkTriangle and April Returns, which were published by Silver Publishing.

Sigrid has been a freelance writer and a social activist for years, working on the seemingly disparate issues of women's rights and wrongful convictions. Her works have appeared in the Globe and Mail newspaper in Canada, the Women's Freedom Network Newsletter, the American magazine Justice Denied, and the Toastmaster; an international magazine for Toastmasters International that is distributed in eighty countries.
