ABOUT THE AUTHOR

KEN MCGOOGAN is the author of a dozen books, among them four bestsellers about Arctic exploration: Fatal Passage, Ancient Mariner, Lady Franklin’s Revenge and Race to the Polar Sea. Those works won the Pierre Berton Award for History, the Writers’ Trust of Canada Biography Prize, the University of British Columbia Medal for Canadian Biography, the Canadian Authors’ Association Award for Canadian History, the Grant MacEwan Author’s Award and the Christopher Award for “a work of artistic excellence.”

Ken has served as chair of the Public Lending Right Commission and is a fellow of the Royal Canadian Geographical Society and the Explorers Club. His keen interest in all things Canadian and his larger-than-life personality have created a high demand for his public speaking engagements across the country. He teaches narrative non-fiction at the University of Toronto and in the MFA program at the University of King’s College in Halifax. Every summer, Ken voyages in the Northwest Passage as an author-historian with Adventure Canada.
