Born in Simcoe, Ontario, Maggie Wheeler moved with
her family several times before settling in Long Sault -
one of the two new towns created to accommodate villagers relocated by the St. Lawrence Seaway and Power Project. Now a resident of Ingleside, formerly New Town Site
No. One, she lives in Misselthwaite Cottage, a “moved” farmhouse from the Lost Village of Dickinson’s Landing.

Maggie is a corporate writer by trade, a recent graduate of the University of Ottawa Faculty of Education, and presently in the Masters program with the English department at Carleton University. Her focus is the interactive process with literature, history and culture.

Maggie’s first novel, A Violent End, placed her on the bestselling list for Eastern Ontario. The Farran Mackenzie Seaway mystery series has been used for the past eight years to teach English and history from the intermediate classroom to post-secondary institutions—keeping Maggie on the public speaking circuit throughout Eastern Ontario and Upper New York State.
