Brenda J. Thompson

Brenda J. Thompson has been a local history buff and writer all her life. Plays, short stories, press releases, protest chants, non fiction, fiction...nothing escapes her pen. An anti-poverty activist by nature, writer by choice, Brenda has won awards for her writing.

   In 2019, Thompson began Moose House Publications to provide an outlet for writers in, and of, rural Nova Scotia.

   Living in the woods of rural Nova Scotia, Brenda lives part time in her geodesic dome in Granville Ferry and in Perotte. Her husband, two daughters and parents live close by.
