Part of a mother-and-son author team, Paula Baker wrote <em>Rebels of Halklyen</em>, <em>The God Sword</em> and <em>The White Wolf</em>, a middle grade fantasy trilogy, with her son, Aidan Davies. She grew up on a farm in Manitoba where she spent as much time reading as she did building treehouses. After earning a Bachelor of Music Education from Brandon University and a Masters in Gifted Education from the University of North Texas, she worked as a band teacher and librarian for thirty-five years. Her writing partnership with Aidan began on the first day of summer holidays after his grade nine year. They decided they would list their names alphabetically on the cover of their book. He was thinking of first names and as a librarian, she knew it was last names that mattered. Over the years, they have developed a system where after discussing the story, he outlines the chapters and she writes them. She lives in British Columbia with her husband, two kayaks, five bikes, two sets of golf clubs, nine pairs of skis, five trumpets, and a well-used pair of hiking boots.
