All characters in this book are fictional and totally made up. Except for Miss Vee, who (with her kind permission) is based on a dear friend. The town of Smiths Falls, Ontario is real enough, though I invented Ben's café, the Viking Hoard and a few other places. Believe it or not, the Pie Wedge exists and is exactly as described.
