edit data

Joan has lived in rural Saskatchewan most of her life. Politics and noisy machines and interruptions annoy her. And although her intentions are good, she gets sidetracked easily. She spends hours just watching swallows swoop or the clouds billow.
The prairie and all its creatures are her inspiration. Her family is her joy.
She and her husband Dennis enjoy travelling and treasure days with their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Prairie Grass is her second full length book. The first, Looking for Aiktow, tells stories of life along the Saskatchewan River over the past hundreds of years. Non-fiction or fiction, history and the land are recurring themes in her writing.

A bookworm's story

Before I was an author, I was a reader ,
I grew up on a prairie farm in the days before internet or television. Books naturally became my gateway to other worlds. My parents were book-lovers, and in those far-off pre-television days, evenings were often spent reading or being read to. Christmases and birthdays always brought at least one new book. A Tale of Two Cities. Jane Eyre. Call of the Wild. Read more of this blog post »

Joan Soggie liked Paul Bennett's review of Rikka: "by Joan Soggie BLURB "Rikka remembered her teacher's words. Spirit needs muscle. Not only muscle of flesh and bone, she thought, but the muscle of a spirit inured to hardship and suffering. Surely, we have had enough of that to make us strong!" From a " Read more of this review »

Joan Soggie liked Elma Schemenauer's review of Rikka: "I think this is Joan Soggie's best book to date. Hopefully she's writing more! I didn't find the first 40 pages or so particularly gripping.
