Biographie:
H. C. Hewitt grew up on a farm in Southeastern Saskatchewan where she developed a deep appreciation for the rural prairie landscape and the people who live there. She has been passionate about reading and writing from an early age and always knew that she would someday write a historical romance. Her grandmother's extensive knowledge of Saskatchewan history and her grandfather's collection of antiques sparked an enduring love of history, especially of the era in which her story unfolds. Her story's setting in the series of Abbington Pickets was inspired by a historic park near where she grew up, founded in 1882 by an Englishman who set out to create a Victorian village in Canada. H. C. Hewitt's other passion is quilting. She owns and operates a quilt shop where she designs and makes quilt patterns. Her four children have grown up and moved away, giving her more time for writing and quilting. She also has six grandchildren and loves to spend time with them. H. C. Hewitt lives in rural East-Central Alberta with her husband, dog, two cats, and nine miniature donkeys....
