Bio

Award-winning author Peggy Joque Williams writes historical fiction inspired by her discovery of her 7th- and 8th-great grandmothers who emigrated from France to Canada in the 17th century as Filles du Roi (Daughters of the King). Her first book, Courting the Sun: A Novel of Versailles, imagines a life for her heroine unlike anything her own ancestors likely experienced in France. It’s sequel, Braving the Dawn: A Novel of New France, however, is rooted in her deep research about her French-Canadian and Ojibwe ancestors of that era. She has also co-written two mystery novels under the penname M. J. Williams. A retired elementary school teacher, Peggy is an alum of both Michigan State University and the University of Wisconsin. She lives with her family in Madison, Wisconsin. Visit her at www.peggywilliamsauthor.com
