Margaret Pinard is a soul from the 19th century who finds it easiest to disguise herself by drinking tea, writing historical fiction, and popping off to the British Isles for 'research.' She has published five novels and one collection of short stories. Her historical fiction work includes the Remnants trilogy which follows the MacLean family from 1820s Scotland to Canada and beyond, highlighting the immigrant experience. Margaret has co-founded an indie book festival, helps run the AWC, and is a firm ally of independent bookstores. She splits her time between Portland, OR and San Luis Obispo, CA.
