Autorenporträt
A. B. Dixon was born in Burnaby, British Columbia. Dixon spent her childhood listening to the war stories of Canadian veterans, including her grandfathers and great-grandfathers, who served in the two World Wars. An avid reader whose favourite subject is history, she had long observed that there are few novels concerning Canadian veterans, and she wondered why she could not read more "about them." Dixon studied Arts and Science at the University of Saskatchewan where she left her degree to pursue a lifelong ambition to be an author. Although she did not realize the coincidence at the time, Dixon became an author on August 4th, 2014, one hundred years to the day after Canada entered World War I. The Turning of the Tide is her first novel.
