This is the sole book devoted to a unique Arctic breed, the Inuit sled dog, its place in the traditional life of the Northern people, its future, and its role in Polar exploration. The book comprises detailed descriptions of its physique, temperament as well as a nutrition guide. Also documented is how this beautiful dog, indigenous to Canada, has survived for thousands of years in the harshest of climates, and yet was very nearly extinct a mere twenty years ago.

Born and raised in France, I wrote my first novel at age twelve. In order to get it published, I founded a newspaper for the lycée I attended. It was an instant success, even after the profs read it and allowed it. I sold my first short romance at sixteen to support my meagerly paid budding dancing career. Later I went on to writing novellas and short stories, always romance.
Emigrating to the Canadian Arctic and learning about the Inuit dogs was a dream that came true after I married her own hero and had two children. I have written a score of books in French from children's fiction to romances and in English, romances - Trails of the Heart (a reprint of Northern Lights) as well as non-fiction books - The Canadian Inuit Dog: Canada's Heritage; Improve Your Romance Writing - not to mention numerous articles including a column and feature articles for Dogs in Canada over the period of a decade. My work has appeared in an Anthology of French poets, and in several French short stories anthologies.
For a while, I also delved into erotica writing with A Brush with Passion; and Dance of Desire; written as Cassandra Colt, published by Genesis Bokks.
I was also interested in writing scripts, maybe with a view of becoming the writer of the next blockbuster film (have a giggle). My Romance Story, graphic novels online, published Collision Course and Wanted Man written as Michelle Vawn.
Since then, I have been reassessing what I really want to write, and I am again working on novels, which of course will include some romantic elements.
My passion for the North and sled dogs is drawing me to write about it. Also, I am thinking about a new series which would mesh with my other passion, dollmaking and a world of fantasy. So many ideas...
I live with my husband and eighteen Inuit Sled dogs in a pristine area of the Interlake region of Manitoba in Canada.
