Darlene Foster

December 04th, 2025

With ten books in the Amanda Travels series, featuring a spunky young girl who loves to travel, Darlene Foster is an award-winning children’s author who divides her time between the west coast of Canada and Orihuela Costa, Spain. Her latest book in the series is Amanda in Ireland: The Body in the Bog (self-published, 2025 $10.99), which takes 12-year-old Amanda Jane Ross to the emerald isle for a cousin’s wedding. The plot takes a dark turn when Amanda joins the search for a missing horse and stumbles upon a world of screaming banshees, peat bogs and alarming secrets, wondering if she will become “another body in the bog”. Foster was brought up on a ranch in southern Alberta, where her grade three teacher encouraged her to write. She is a retired employment counsellor and ESL teacher. 9781069552600
