Hi Lonna,
No I don't live in Nunavut. The inspiration for the book comes from my experience racing sled dogs between Churchill, Manitoba and Arviat, Nunavut along the coast of Hudson Bay. I learned a lot about dogs and the land from the Inuit mushers I traveled with and it changed the way I see the world - very much like it changes the way the protagonist sees the world. I am very grateful for these experiences and the support of my friends in Arviat, who not only did the Inuktitut translations, but ensured that the way I potrayed the Inuit that Emmylou meets in a way readers in Arviat can identify with.

Miriam Körner At the moment we have fourteen dogs, but lots of them are retired now - like Fuzzy who inspired Yellow Dog.

Good news for all of you who liked Yellow Dog. My second novel is on its way into the world. Qaqavii A novel by Miriam Körner
