0

Muskoka Authors Association is thrilled to welcome author Gwen Tuinman as our guest speaker on Thursday, February 13.  Tuinman is the author of Unrest (Random House Canada, 2024), a 19th-century feminist adventure set against the gritty Bytown frontier. The National Post calls Unrest “an edgy adventure yarn about women’s freedom”. She’ll discuss her journey through researching and writing Unrest; how experiences in indie publishing prepared her for traditional publishing; and how mindset is the king/queen of author tools.

Gwen is descended from Irish tenant farmers and English Quakers. Her storytelling influences include soul searching, an interest in bygone days, and the complexities of living a life. Fascinated by the landscape of human tenacity, she writes about women navigating the social restrictions of their era. Gwen lives with her husband on a small rural homestead that strengthens the connection to her characters and nourishes her creativity.
