Drawn to historical romance, Maanyan T. Fox enjoys writing stories of enduring love, family relationships, and cultural connections. Her debut novel, Cedar & Sage: Guided by the Heart, is the first book in her Algonquin Tales series, exploring themes of love, forgiveness, courage, and second chances.

Maanyan is an Anishinaabe Kwe (Ojibwe/Odawa) and a member of Wiikwemkoong First Nation on Manitoulin Island, Ontario, Canada. Born in Chicago, Illinois, she writes under a pen name that incorporates her Ojibwe name, Maanyan.

A graduate of Michigan State University, she spent much of her career in human resources in the high-tech industry, later working in HR consulting and contracting before pursuing her passion for writing.

Today, Maanyan lives in Texas with her husband. She is the mother of two and a proud grandmother of four. When she isn’t writing, she enjoys spending time with family, learning the Ojibwe language, and keeping the tradition of handwritten letters alive.

For Maanyan, every story is an opportunity to connect the past with the present—and to remind readers that some love stories are worth waiting a lifetime for.
