Dorothy Pedersen

Dorothy Pedersen was born in Scotland. She was brought to Canada in her 13th year. She is the recipient of a national writing award, and is an Honours graduate of the Equiine Studies program at Humber College, and the college's first recipient of it's Horsemanship Certificate program. For thirty years, she has written about horse health and horse health research. After she finally recovered her own stolen horses she wrote about horse theft, and has been acknowledged on both sides of the Canada/US border as an expert on this crime. The first issue of her book, Stolen Horses, sold out within 30 days of it's release. This was followed by a 30-day sell out of her book, Canadian Police Heroes, a book that came on the heels of extensive writing for and about law enforcement - again, on both sides of the border. Her third book, Convoys of World War II was applauded by sailors and war veterans. Dorothy is working on updating these books, and is contracted to write several others which should be out soon.
