Margarete Ledwez was born in Germany, emigrating to Canada with her parents and brother when she was just a year old. She quickly developed a longing to create which has eventually manifested itself in her writing. Growing up in St. Catharines, Ontario, she became fascinated by the tunnels that had been used to hide slaves as part of the Underground Railroad and later by bootleggers during Prohibition. While she and her husband were raising their own children they lived in Niagara Falls, just 5 kilometers from the celebrated Screaming Tunnel . Her curiosity was once again piqued when she discovered the myths and legends surrounding the many tunnels under the famous falls, and when writing this series of stories, she drew from her knowledge as well as her unending intrigue that there could be many more tunnels yet to be discovered. "Niagara Tunnels Secrets Revealed" is Margarete Ledwez's second novel, and is a sequel to "Past Secret Present Danger". The story has been evolving in the author's imagination for many years.
