HEATHER STEMP

My paternal roots lie in Harbour Grace, Newfoundland.

 

After 30 years as an English teacher, I retired to research my family history, discovering my Aunt Ginny’s friendship with Amelia Earhart in the process. As a result, I began writing the Ginny Ross Series. Amelia and Me was shortlisted for the 2014/2015 Red Cedar Award. Under Amelia’s Wing was shortlisted for the 2021 Geoffrey Bilson Award for Historical Fiction for Young People and the 2022 Red Maple Award. 

 

Beyond Amelia, the third book in the series, is now available.  When not writing, I love travelling with my husband, Don, and spending time at the cottage with my grandchildren and granddogs.
