About the Author,

Margaret Kerr and JoAnn Kurtz first met when they were junior

lawyers in a law firm. Because their offices were side by side, they

were frequently to be found carrying on entertaining and often

risqué conversations, especially whenever the senior partner

walked by. When Margaret and JoAnn left the firm to pursue other

opportunities (as they say), it looked like the perfect co-authorship

was ended before it even started.

During their years apart, JoAnn ran a general law practice and

started a family, while Margaret practised in the areas of legal

research and civil litigation and honed her equestrian skills. They

met again by chance when they were both teaching in the Bar

Admission Course, each having discovered a taste for inflicting

information about law on innocent minds. JoAnn suggested that

Margaret join her in teaching law at a community college and the

two were briefly reunited under one roof.

Now co-authorship could not be held off by fate any longer. One

day JoAnn’s husband said to JoAnn and Margaret, “You two could

write a book about buying a home.” “Of course we could,” they

said, tossing their heads, and they immediately did so. The

Complete Guide to Buying, Owning and Selling a Home in Canada

(1997) became a Canadian bestseller.

Margaret and JoAnn made two strange discoveries after writing one

book together — first, that they had fun writing as a team; and

second, that writing books is addictive. The world just didn’t seem

quite right without an editor demanding a complete manuscript

exactly when JoAnn was experiencing a major family crisis or

Margaret was away on business. So they started churning out

books, together, alone, and with others: Make It Legal: What Every

Canadian Entrepreneur Needs to Know About the Law ; Facing a Death

in the Family; Canadian Tort Law in a Nutshell (with Larry Olivo);

Legal Research Step by Step (with Arlene Blatt); Family Law: Practice

and Procedure (by JoAnn alone); Residential Real Estate Transactions

(by JoAnn with Joan Emmans and Arlene Blatt); and Advocacy for

Paralegals (by JoAnn with Arlene Blatt).

The Canadian media couldn’t help noticing the deluge of books, and

JoAnn and Margaret have happily done numerous radio, TV, and

newspaper interviews as well as author appearances.
