Paula Snow is a writer and storyteller who has lived in the Kootenay Mountains for the past 40 years. Born in New York City, she has written stories all her life. She studied creative writing at Selkirk College in 2018. Since then she has taken writing seriously, and some of her short stories have been published. Her diverse background includes cooking in remote camps, riding freight trains around the USA and Canada, business consulting and management, and creating a small permaculture paradise. She currently resides along the shore of Kootenay Lake in the new settlement of Pilot Bay, where her current novel is set. Her published stories include “The Man with the Golden Horn” (Black Bear Press), “The Storm” (Black Bear Press), and “Night Rules” (Musepaper).
