Margaret Westlie
The novelist destined to write.
A historically private person, Margaret was always the observer and listener in the room.
Yet like many of her future characters, Margaret carried secrets with her; the ability of second sight and intuition.
It wasn’t until later in her life when all the stories she collected both subconsciously and from her own unique experiences merged, rearranged and poured themselves on to the page.
Stories from her Scottish ancestors to all those she’s encountered along her diverse travels. Stories uncovered within her church music studies and performing, to the ideas and alternative perspectives from her interest in quantum physics plus holistic healing and being a reiki master. Stories from all the patients she cared for as a geriatric nurse during their final days, to the visions and voices that have always come to her without seeking them out.
Margaret wasn’t supposed to be a writer. That is, not until her multifaceted background, education and hidden clairvoyance abilities were ready.
From ghosts, mischievous spirits and otherworldly tales, to Scottish settlers faced with unexpected events in historic Prince Edward Island, Canada, Margaret draws you in with characters, descriptions and perennial themes of women’s lives that take the ordinary and reveal them as extraordinary.
Just like Margaret herself.

What They Say
Review from Amazon.ca
Margaret draws you in with her intricate plotting and surprising twists — a woman murdered, a group of 19th church Elders banding together as a security patrol in a rural community! Her stories are not the kind that can be easily set aside and must be read over as few sittings as possible. I also found her authentic PEI-Scottish settings, vocabulary, and characterizations to be so authentic that they make this reader profoundly homesick.
