Interview - Heather Stemp and the Ginny Ross series

Canada Reads American Style

Rebecca is excited to chat with Heather Stemp, author of the Ginny Ross historical fiction series for tween and teen readers. Rebecca also recommends it for adult fans of Anne of Green Gables.

Heather’s paternal roots lie in Harbour Grace, Newfoundland. After 30 years as an English teacher, she retired to research her family history, discovering her Aunt Ginny’s friendship with Amelia Earhart in the process. As a result, she began writing the Ginny Ross Series. Amelia and Me was shortlisted for the 2014/2015 Red Cedar Award. Under Amelia’s Wing was shortlisted for the 2021 Geoffrey Bilson Award for Historical Fiction for Young People and the 2022 Red Maple Award. Beyond Amelia, will be released April 16, 2024.

When not writing, Heather loves traveling with her husband, Don, and spending time at the cottage with her grandchildren and grand dogs.
