Bowker Biography:
J.R. Teasdale

J.R. Teasdale was born on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean, in New Brunswick, Canada—the maritime province easterners have dubbed their beloved Acadia.

Studying with nuns at a Catholic convent, the onus of responsibility was instilled early, opening the doors to introspection and the timid scrutiny of people around her. “I guess what I remember most about my childhood was my father, for one. He was extremely erudite. He was gentle and affable, not as he appeared to be, this stern director of radio for CBC. They called him the word magician.

The other great mentor was my maternal grandfather. He was this tall giant, always quiet, forever fighting to blend with his background. His eyes would come alive when the mood would strike him to tell stories, and children and grown-ups alike gathered to listen. He would weave plots and spellbind us with suspense and mystery for hours. It took me years to understand why he could never tell the same story twice. He had never learned to read or write.”

After a fulfilling career in sales and marketing, J.R. rediscovered her love of story. “We were living in Miami at the time—same ocean, just south more. And I remember these characters jumping out at me while I was walking on the beach. They were loud, colorful chatterboxes, doing their own thing inside my head. I had to sit and write them down. And I did—still am. I love it.”
