Annamarie Beckel conducted behavioural research on river otters for her doctoral thesis - and has remained forever enchanted. Formerly from St. John's, she lives on the Otonabee River in Ontario, where she watches otters and other wild creatures from both her kayak and her living room. Weaving Water is her fourth novel.
