Set in the contrasting climates of Sicily and Edmonton, this literary noir is a masterful tale of family, murder, and the inescapable pull of the past.

Riscoprendo Mia Madre: Una figlia alla ricerca del passato

The Italian edition of Finding Rosa, with an introduction by Dr. William Boelhower. It was translated into Italian by Sabrina Rega. Published by Les Flaneurs Edizioni

The Island of the Nightingales

With deftness and humour, Edwards tells the stories of women caught in the intersection of different cultures and different values.

A Whiter Shade of Pale/ Becoming Emma

Two novellas about love and desire, modern art and archeology.

Homeground: A Play

The play was performed in a slightly different form at the Edmonton Fringe Festival of 1986 under the title Terra Straniera (Foreign Land).

The Lion’s Mouth

The Lion’s Mouth is a novel of displacement, intrigue, yearning, and moral compromise. The heroine Bianca writes of a time of crisis in both the life of her cousin Marco and that of his country in order to negate her loss of family and home.

La bocca di leone

La bocca di leone è poliedrico: un giallo, uno studio di costumi sociali, una relazione autoriflessiva, un racconto di amore e perdita. Ma l’insieme è fluido e coerente, potente, ed elegante.

About me

When I was a child, I told myself stories to escape reality and plot adventures. As an adult, I use my words to explore, find, and connect to a deeper reality.

I have published six books, fiction and nonfiction, four of which won awards, and all received considerable critical and academic attention. I was also inducted into the City of Edmonton’s Cultural and Arts Hall of Fame.
Get to know me
I am happy to visit book clubs either in person or through Zoom.

I am also available to speak on a variety of literary topics, including the writing life or the difficulties in writing your family story.
‍
And I can offer half or full day writing workshops. I have experience giving workshops in schools, to writing groups, and once to the inmates of the Edmonton Maximum Security Institution.
