Niagara Author
Since my retirement, I have become one [or two] of Vineland's finest authors. I can make that claim because there are only one or two authors living in Vineland! My next goal is to become known regionwide in Niagara...and then, who knows? Nationwide, if I live that long.
When I got to high-school I wrote poetry, and then upon graduation from McMaster University, I landed a job as a news reporter. There we go, I was well on the way to launching a perfect career in writing! Well, not quite, the salary was minimum wages! Thank goodness, the office supplied the coffee! Ah youth, and the hopes, the delusions of getting a byline!
Dashed hopes for fame and riches aside, I've nevertheless, expanded my writing repertoire from poetry to short stories, and then on to novels. I write mainly crime fiction with a dash of romance. I'm an author living within the Niagara Region in the small village of Vineland, and I write, what shall I say, as a compulsive hobby.
