I was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia and moved to Ontario as a young man where I attended college and raised a family. I was forced into early retirement while working in the nuclear industry due to a severe car accident. While my wife Gloria was recovering in a long-term care facility following a cardiac arrest, I took up painting and then applied myself to my lifelong dream of becoming a writer. I started out doing this to please myself but now I'm quite curious as to whether others can also enjoy the characters which I've brought to life. I currently live in Dunnville, Ontario, which is a rural township in the heart of the local farming community. My wife passed away last year and so I'm continuing to focus on my writings.
