Karen Emilson Reviews

Karen Emilson was born and raised in southern Ontario, the daughter of Irish immigrants for her mommy’s facet; and an eclectic combination of Swiss, German and English on her daddy’s unwanted. She spent all her free time as a child reading novels and writing stories, dreaming one day of becoming a writer. As a young bride she came to Manitoba in 1982, settling at the Nordheim farm in Siglunes. She started working as a rural newspaper reporter and printed the Canadian Bestseller, "Where Children Run" in 1996 and its sequel "After Memories Remain" in 2001. When Lake Manitoba overflowed its banks at 2011, flooding out the farmland at Siglunes, she had been inspired to complete a story started 10 years before about the immigrants that dug out a living there. Now she writes books full time and lives in Grunthal, Manitoba with dog Scooter and her husband. "Be However the Water" is her first novel. Visit: www.karenemilson.com
