    Gail Bowen (SOM), novelist (born 22 September 1942 in Toronto, ON; died 25 June 2026 in Regina, SK).

This early fascination with death perhaps foretold her vocation as the author of the best-selling Joanne Kilbourn mystery series. Bowen also worked as an arts columnist on CBC Radio in Regina and taught for many years at the First Nations University of Canada. She is also a prolific playwright. She was named Canada's Best Mystery Novelist by Reader’s Digest in 2008 and received the Derrick Murdoch Award from the Crime Writers of Canada in 2009. She received the Saskatchewan Order of Merit in 2018.
