Marie Mossman's roots thrive on the soil and sea waters of Nova Scotia. Her stories contain truths from research, from life experience, and from information casually shared at the kitchen table. In grade school English classes, she enjoyed parsing sentences, and reserved her imagination for day-dreaming, a realm where it would flit, free of the red correction pencil.Maud, the heroine of Halifax Calling, was a minor character in Mossman's first novel, A Rebel for Her Time, published by Moose House in 2020. Mossman is a co-author of Less Than Innocent, a lockdown story; and a contributor to Blink and You'll Miss It, Moose House Stories Vol. 2.
