Jacqueline Baker


Jacqueline Baker is the author of A Hard Witching & Other Stories, which won the Danuta Gleed Literary Award, the Howard O'Hagan Award for Short Fiction,  and the City of Edmonton Book Prize.  It was also a finalist for the Rogers Writers' Trust Fiction Prize and was chosen as one of Maclean's Top 10 Books of the Year.

Her new novel, The Horseman's Graves, unfolds a mythic tale of a small German immigrant community on the Saskatchewan-Alberta border, caught between the promise of a new land and the weight of a European past, with its hatred, fear and old-country superstitions.
