Dakin, Emma: - "Emma Dakin lives in Gibsons on the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia. She writes fiction-traditional, The British Book Tour Mysteries, and historical mysteries, Murder in Vancouver - 1886, -and non-fiction. Her memoir Always Pack a Candle: A Nurse in the Cariboo-Chilcotin received the Lieutenant Governor's Community History Award. But she keeps returning to her favorite genre, traditional mysteries. She travels to Britain to villages, towns and cities she features in her books, meets people who live there and eats in the elegant restaurants-all in the name of research. Her love of the British countryside and villages and her addiction to reading traditional mysteries keep her writing about characters who live and work in those villages. She enjoys those characters and trusts you will as well."
