Stanley Sauerwein was born in Lethbridge, Alberta and first began freelance writing at the age of 13 with a newspaper column in the local newspaper.
After university study in journalism he worked as a reporter
under the tutelage of renowned editor Margaret "Ma" Murray for two years before moving to Vancouver to edit weekly newspapers
there. In Vancouver he continued his freelancing for daily newspapers and by writing character profiles on a number
of entertainment celebrities for monthly magazines. He then joined a national pr agency to write for newspapers and radio on golf
and motor racing events before taking a reporter job with a national newspaper chain.He rose to the
position of group publisher but his heart was in the words and not the balance
sheet, so in 1990 settled in the vine-draped hills overlooking Okanagan Lake .
Sauerwein fed his family by the word, churning out thousands of magazine and newspaper articles. His
early books relied on his business experience for subject matter. He wrote about the energy industry and the
construction industry. He compiled a travel guide and was recognized by the Government of Canada to write
a history book as one of that country's Millennium Projects. He also began consulting to a client base that includes
an insurance company and firms in the travel, construction, real estate and computing industries. He found he enjoyed writing about the past and in 2000, began historical biographies. Since then, he has written 15 books.
Now he finally feels ready to "take his lumps" in an effort to write fiction.
