A former Alida resident has started publishing children’s novels.
Ashley Vercammen took her schooling at Alida and Oxbow schools before continuing her secondary education at the University of Saskatchewan. She received a degree in international development with a minor in economics.
In 2021, she began writing her children’s books in which she targeted children with the hope that they can spark age-appropriate conversations with adults. To date she has published five books of her own and one with her cousin Mari Lemieux, The Sock Momster.
Two of Vercammen’s latest books, Family Potluck, features her mom and youngest brother Bowen, and Little-Big Sister features her older brother Derrick and herself. The best place to get her books is on-line at www.ashleley-vercammen.ca or by messaging her on Facebook.
Vercammen now works full-time as a registered behavioural therapist in Saskatoon. She also has her own business, Home Style Teachers, where she teaches English and writes and publishes her books.
She lives in Saskatoon with her husband, her dog and two cats.
