In this episode of Make Your Day Richer THE GAME SHOW, I’m playing with with Toronto-based author and PhD, Cinda Gault. Cinda takes on the challenge of Rule Breaker Roulette, a trivia game that tests her knowledge of Canadian history and the complex themes of her own historical fiction.
Beyond the trivia, Cinda provides a deep dive into her meticulous research process—from visiting the Hudson’s Bay archives to discovering the real-life women who inspired her novels. She discusses the “magical” relationship between a writer and a reader and why she believes every woman should “pick up the ticket” for her own sense of meaning. Whether she’s discussing the 1970s feminist watershed or the grit of an 1800s fur trade voyage, Cinda’s passion for breathing life into historical facts is on full display.
