M.D. Benoit's Website

Throughout her career, she was a housekeeper, a telephone operator, a military officer, an a Human Resources consultant. But writing had always been her first love and she gave it all up to make up stories. She has been writing full-time for almost ten years. Metered Space is her first published novel, with the next one in the series, entitled Meter Made, out since November 2005. Another novel, an SF story on genetic warfare tentatively entitled Diseases and Sins, will come out in 2006, from Zumaya Publications.

In 2000, M. D. edited a children's anthology, The Friendship Anthology, published by the Nepean Public Library, and was the editor of a Canadian Anthology, Looking In: Portraits of the Canadian Soul, a collection of stories, essays and poetry, accompanied by pictures taken by a series of Canadian photographers from across the country. She has also been involved in numerous additional editing projects such as Now we're cooking! 43 Authors in the Kitchen.

M. D. Benoit discovered science fiction and mystery through her father's bedtime stories, which were always full of gadgets, dark doorways, and disappearing people. She lives in Ottawa, Canada, with her husband and her cat (who is really an alien in disguise).

She has just finished her fifth manuscript, the third in the Jack Meter Case Files.
