Charlotte CameronCharlotte Cameron loves to write about historical characters and real events in her fiction. With Catharism, she found inspiration for a timeless story set in the modern day. Alex Decoteau, Canada's first Indigenous policeman and a famous Olympic runer, was the inspiration for her play, Running: The Alex Decoteau Story, while author Malcolm Lowry's short visit to Gabriola inspired another play, October Ferries to Gabriola. Charlotte lives with her husband on British Columbia's Gabriola Island, known as the "Isle of the Arts." Along with volunteer work, she enjoys walking on the island's trails, reading, and swimming in the Salish Sea. She serves as president of the board of Poetry Gabriola Society. Read More Read Less
