Jodie Callaghan is from the Mi'gmaq First Nation in Gespe'gewa'gi (Quebec). She started writing stories when she was 8 years old and has always been drawn to story-telling. She has found writing to be the best way to connect to her history and her culture. Jodie currently resides in Northern New Brunswick with her husband, child, and pets. When she's not teaching, she is very slowly chipping away at her Masters of Education degree from UNB and dreaming up stories she will one day write.
