Broken Trail (24 page)

Jean Rae Baxter's next novel,
Looking for Cardenio,
a literary murder mystery published in 2008, imagines what might happen if somebody discovered a manuscript of Shakespeare's lost play.

With
Broken Trail,
she returns to the time of the American Revolution in a story about two teenage brothers, one a runaway who spends three years living as an Oneida while the other serves as a soldier. She is now working on a third novel involving the same characters featured in
The Way Lies North
and
Broken Trail.

When she is not writing, she enjoys the company of family and friends—her Scottish terrier Robbie being part of both. Her favourite activities are reading and travel. She lives in Hamilton, Ontario, where she helps to organize the LiT LiVe reading series and serves on the Arts Hamilton Literary Advisory Committee. Visit her website at
