Lise Mayne (LG Pomerleau) is an author in Nanton, Alberta. Immersed in history since childhood, she desires to illuminate the past, to preserve memories and build bridges. Having experienced homelessness as a teenager, the quest for home is central to her work. Becoming Sand, 2012, portrays the four-hundred year history of settlers from France to New France, including the early impact of colonization on First Nations. Time Enough, Oprelle Publications, 2024, is a compelling, inspiring family saga of immigration from the Isle of Man, to Canada via Michigan, in the 1900’s. A member of the Canadian Author’s Association, the League of Canadian Poets and the Writers’ Union of Canada, current publications include award-winning poetry and a feature magazine article. Lise volunteers as a bluebird monitor on the Rocky Mountain Eastern Slopes. Family, friends and nature inspire her life.
