Previous owner's mailing label on first page. Margaret Craven (March 13, 1901 – July 19, 1980) was an American writer. Margaret went to Stanford University (Palo Alto, California) where she majored in history, Upon her graduation with distinction in 1924, she moved to San Jose, California, where she took a job as secretary to the managing editor of the Mercury Herald. She soon found herself writing the editorials, first over the editor’s initials, then over her own. After the death of the editor, Margaret moved back to Palo Alto and began writing short stories for magazines such as the Delineator. In 1941 the Saturday Evening Post began accepting her stories. She continued contributing stories to the Post for the next 20 years, although seriously hindered by near-blindness caused by a bacterial infection of the eyes. It was largely owing to her vision problem that during this period she did not write novels, but the problem was overcome around 1960. She had learned about the Native-Americans of the northern British Columbia coast. The first result of this was a story for the Post called "Indian Outpost." In 1962, Margaret arranged with the Columbia Coast Mission of the Anglican Church to visit Kingcome and other native Kwakwaka'wakw (Kwakiutl) villages on the B.C. coast. Out of this experience came her first novel, I Heard the Owl Call My Name, which became a best seller. Margaret published a second novel, Walk Gently This Good Earth (1977), an autobiography, Again Calls the Owl (1980), and a collection of stories, The Home Front (1981). More

Charles Fergus was born and raised in central Pennsylvania. He now lives on a farm in Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom with his wife, the writer Nancy Marie Brown. He likes to read books of all kinds, especially historical fiction and mysteries with compelling plots and believable characters. When I decided to write a mystery series, I wanted to depict, as honestly as I could, the reality of what happens when a person takes another person’s life. I drew on my own experience in creating my main character, the young Pennsylvania Dutch sheriff Gideon Stoltz, who, as a boy, lost his mother to a murder. He has also written many books about nature and the outdoors. Readers tell him that his understanding of wildlife, natural places, and rural living informs his works. More
