Sally E BurnsSally E. Burns has always loved lake country, and grew up in northwestern Ontario, paddling, fishing, and swimming every summer on the lakes surrounding her small town.

She graduated from the University of Toronto with a BA, and eventually returned to work and live on the edge of Quetico Provincial Park. She raised her family beside a crystal-clear lake, watching all kinds of wildlife and loons also raise their young on the water. She wrote The Way of the Loon on a screened porch of her summer cottage, and when her granddaughter was born, she knew she also would be raised in the outdoors and would enjoy learning about the loon families.
