Bio
Mary Soderstrom is a Montreal-based writer of fiction and non-fiction. Her most recent book is Making Waves: The Continuing Portuguese Adventure (Véhicule Press.) That book was the outgrowth of her travels for her prevous non-fiction. Then she'd been struck by the way Portuguese were everywhere before other Europeans--East Africa, India, and Japan to say nothing of much of South America. But their story seemed to be under-appreciated, and so that's why someone born McGowan and married to a Soderstrom, wrote a book about the Portuguese around the world.
