Smallman, Phyllis
Biography
Phyllis Smallman's love of books led to various library jobs in southern Ontario towns like Brantford, Grimsby, and Ancaster, where she hid out in the stacks reading mysteries. Her library card is still one of her most prized possessions.
She later became a production potter, churning out thousands of stoneware mugs, bowls, and butter dishes while listening to the CBC and dreaming of being a writer.
After winning the CWC’s Arthur Ellis Award for Best Unpublished First Crime Novel (aka the Unhanged Arthur) in June 2007 for Margarita Nights, her first Sherri Travis mystery, Phyllis and husband, Lee, moved to Salt Spring Island, BC.
