—The Globe and Mail

During his academic career he published more than 100 research papers and co-authored six medical text books. For ten years he was editor in Chief of the Canadian Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology He is the recipient of three lifetime achievement awards for his scholarly contributions. On a lighter note he was a regular medical humour columnist for two medical journals and contributed sailing humour to Pacific Yachting and 48° North

Since retirement Forge, an imprint of MacMIllan, has published two collections of his short stories, two thrillers, and fifteen novels in the Irish Country Doctor series, six of which have been New York Times best sellers and all of which have made the Globe and Mail Canadian authors best seller list, Country Christmas—reaching the number one spot in 2009.
