Stevie Cameron is a Canadian investigative journalist and author, best known for her 1995 book On the Take: Crime, Corruption and Greed in the Mulroney Years, an expose of the Airbus affair, kickbacks and links to the government of Brian Mulroney. Its popular success led to a campaign by Mulroney's defenders to discredit the allegations against him. Other works include: Blue Trust (1999); Ottawa Inside Out (1990); and The Last Amigo (2001, with Harvey Cashore). Stevie Cameron's latest book is The Pickton File, a look into the horrific story of Vancouver's missing women and the man accused of their killing, Robert William (Willie) Pickton.  William Toye wrote the classic, The St. Lawrence, which includes illustrations by our own Leo Rampen. Originally conceived as a work for young people, The St. Lawrence in fact appeals to every reader, young and old. A man of Canadian letters, Mr. Toye has been involved in almost every aspect of Canadian publishing, from editor of The Tamarack Review to co-author of such volumes as The Oxford Companion to Canadian Literature and The Oxford Anthology of Canadian Literature. He was also instrumental along with illustrator Elizabeth Cleaver in introducing The Loon's Necklace and other legends to Canadian children's literature.
