She is the author of three novels: 'Economic Sex' (1985), set in Toronto and New York; the award-winning design novel, 'The Gilded Beaver' (1999 / Second Edition in 2020); and 'TRILLIUM' (2019), a tri-family saga set on the Niagara peninsula. MLHolton has also contributed to several fiction anthologies in the UK and USA.
Recently nominated for a Ontario Premier's Award for 'Excellence in the Arts', this eclectic polymath was selected as 'Artist of the Year' by the City of Burlington in 2016 for her 40 year contribution to the local arts and cultural scene in the Golden Horseshoe region of Ontario, Canada.

Trillium by MLHolton
Insightful, compelling, engrossing and enlightening, Trillium intimately portrays the intertwining evolution of three very distinct families in the wine-making region known as Niagara in the Golden Horseshoe region, Ontario, Canada.
... It all starts when a sandy-haired foot-soldier, 19-year-old Tom Hartford, crosses over the mighty Niagara River in the 1750s ...
Readers will meet Maaka, an ingenious indigenous trapper; Franco, a dirt poor Sicilian labourer; Paddy O'Sullivan, a sweet-talking Irishman and sweet Cate, the Hamilton Harbour prostitute. And that's just the beginning!
All unfolds with a pair of motherless red-headed twin brothers, a diabolical hate-filled drunkard, two devoted raven-haired sisters, an obsessed land developer, hard-working Mexicans, a kind blind man, a handsome Italian-Canadian wine-maker, a blessed treasure trove of attentive mothers, one demented vineyard-wandering wife - and a startlingly beautiful, simpleton savant, Anna.
A 250 year-old story about three families: expect the good, the bad & sometimes the ugly ...
