Andrew SibbaldAndrew Sibbald was born some four decades after Emily Twillum's story takes place and grew up on the Briars property in Jackson's Point, Ontario. When his family sold the property in 2017, after 140 years of their stewardship, he remained involved inthe community. His planned village historical tours were quashed by the COVID-19 pandemic. It was then that Emily-Andrew's fictional protagonist-visited him and gave him permission to tell her story.Andrew is most inspired when enjoying nature-walking, birding, paddling. He is an active Anglican parishioner, contemplates history, reads a variety of books, and teaches Shotokan karate. He lives in Nova Scotia, Canada, with his wife.
