John Hartig Biography

John Hartig, Vineland Author, was born in Austria. He moved to Canada with his family at the age of 8. Canada seemed like such a strange land to an 8 year-old boy from Europe! The national sport here was hockey, and football was "soccer"!

John lived in several provinces: Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta and Manitoba. He even put in a stint in Germany and France, but that's another story. John acquired an M.A. in English Literature at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario. Then a teaching degree at the University of B.C., then a diploma in Corporate Communications from Sheridan College, then a Webmaster's Certificate from Mohawk College...then, my goodness, there must have been other stuff he got somewhere at some time, which at the moment escapes me.

At different times, John was a news reporter, an editor, a high-school teacher, an apprentice electrician, a wedding photographer, a web designer, and has now setttled on being a fledgling author here in the little village of Vineland. John lives in Vineland which is in the middle of wine and orchard country. He writes murder mystery-romance novels for a hobby. He relies neither on his talent, nor his good looks to make a living in his three endeavours which are writing, web design, and photography.

To sum up, John has had a varied career. As a beginning author in Vineland, he hopes someday to be known as a good Niagara Author. He also hopes to continue with a few more deeds and accomplishments to stretch his biography out just a little bit more, which is his strategy in keeping time's winged chariot at bay!
