Thanks for visiting. I am a writer, conservation activist and a photographer living in Canmore, Alberta. I’ve been writing since 1988, and seriously trying to publish since the early 1990s. At some long last, in 2006, Arsenal Press published my first book: Carry Tiger to Mountain, The Tao of Activism and Leadership. My fifth book – The Vanishing Track - will be released by TouchWood Editions in early March.

Recently, Don Graves of the Hamilton Spectator picked The End of the Line, a historically themed mystery set in the Rockies in 1884, as one of his top 10 mysteries of 2011.

Consider taking a look at this murder mystery featuring a misanthropic Mountie, who lost a leg in a gun battle with whiskey traders and who can no longer ride a horse. Margaret Cannon of the Globe and Mail says: “Legault knows his history, and that’s what makes this novel shine.” I still blush a little when I read that. Click the read or listen links for a sample of the book.

You can also read both a blessedly short and awkwardly long version of my bio here. You can view all of my published works in the books section of this site.

These days I’m posting all of my updates on Twitter. You can follow me @stephenlegault. Thanks again for visiting. Have a look around. Stop and say hello. And check back from time to time to see what’s new.
