Dower, Tricia

Tricia Dower's heart has a home (and citizenship) in two countries. Born in Rahway, New Jersey, she's lived in Canada since 1981. A graduate of Gettysburg College with a degree in English literature, she's taught school and worked in marketing, advertising, human resources and corporate communications in Georgia, New Jersey, Minnesota, Illinois and Ontario. These days she has the luxury of writing in Brentwood Bay, British Columbia, a beautiful part of the world. BECOMING LIN is her third book. Her short story collection, SILENT GIRL (Inanna 2008), was long-listed for the Frank O'Connor Award
