Brenda Niskala makes her home in Regina. She currently works in the cultural industries. Most recently she has published poetry, How to Be a River, (Wild Sage Press, 2012 and 2013), the linked short story collection For the Love of Strangers (Coteau Books, 2010), which was shortlisted for a Saskatchewan Book Award and top of the votes for the CBC Summer Reading list that year, and a novella, Of All the Ways to Die (Quattro, 2009). She is now working on her next (well, first) novel, which will introduce the pirating adventures of a Viking ship in about 1065.
