Audrey Grace Thomas, OC (née Callahan, born 17 Nov 1935)[1] is a Canadian novelist and short story writer who lives on Galiano Island, British Columbia. Her stories often have feminist themes and include exotic settings.[2] She is a recipient of the Marian Engel Award.

Biography

Born in Binghamton, New York she immigrated to Canada in 1959,[3] where she attended and later taught at the University of British Columbia. From 1964 to 1966 she lived in Ghana, and some of her stories are set there and in other distant places.[4][5] In 1987 she won the Marian Engel Award for her body of work.

Thomas lived in Edinburgh, Scotland in the 1980s, and wrote articles for Saturday Night Magazine.[6]

She has three times received the Ethel Wilson Fiction Prize, for Intertidal Life (1984),[7] Wild Blue Yonder (1990), and Coming Down from Wa (1995). In 2008, she was made an Officer of the Order of Canada.[8]
