With degrees in theological studies and education (additional qualifications in special education), author Anne M. Smith-Nochasak spent over thirty years teaching in Indigenous communities, where she learned to challenge the limitations that are placed on students and delight in each child's potential as those communities do.
Although Anne has always enjoyed writing, now that she is retired, she considers it to be her favourite hobby next to reading. Still, as often as she can, she enjoys gardening, kayaking, hiking in the woods, and any work that brings her outdoors. She currently lives in a wooded area in western Nova Scotia with her golden dogs, Shay and Flo.
In 2021, Anne M. Smith-Nochasak was recognized as one of The Miramichi Reader's "Best Books of 2021" for her first book: A Canoer of Shorelines (FriesenPress 2021).
