Born in New Brunswick, raised in Alberta, and now settled and thriving in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, Shandi Mitchell is an award-winning author and filmmaker.
She studied English and Theatre at Dalhousie, and her first short film,Gasoline Puddles, received the Drama Prize from Canada’s National Screen Institute in 1992. Her first feature, The Disappeared starring Billy Campbell and Shawn Doyle, was one of the most critically acclaimed releases of 2012.
Author at HarperCollins; indie romance as Donna Alward.
Her debut novel, Under This Unbroken Sky, was published by Penguin Canada in 2009. It sold in nine countries, garnered almost every literary award going and was heaped with praise by critics internationally.
Almost a decade later Shandi is back with The Waiting Hours, a staggeringly powerful work that proves she is one of the best writers working in Canada today.
