Bio: Ann Shortell is the author of award-winner CELTIC KNOT A Clara Swift Tale, a 'history with a mystery' set in 1868-1869 Ottawa that reimagines the assassination of Canadian poet-politician T. D’Arcy McGee. This is the debut of a series of Clara Swift Tales. Kirkus Reviews writes: "Shortell… conjures a memorable heroine in Clara: Only 15 years old, she’s uncannily sharp and literarily astute but endearingly guileless. … The author skillfully builds a suspenseful mystery. … In addition, her prose can be elegant… the novel’s strongest selling point is its artful amalgam of historical scholarship and fictional drama—Shortell brings her meticulous research to vivid life. A thrilling and historically edifying period tale." CELTIC KNOT has received 12 award honours in the U.S. & Canada, and is the Winner of the 2019 Whistler Independent Book Award for Fiction.
