I was born in London, England and moved to the Washington DC area at a very young age. I attended the University of Maryland and had a very good time there. Because of that, the President of the United States sent a letter welcoming me into the US Army. It was there that I became a journalist and was assigned as a correspondent during the Vietnam War. After my honorable discharge I moved, along with my French Canadian wife, to Quebec, Canada. We built a beautiful house on 20 acres of rural land close to the Vermont border because, in my opinion, it gave me closer access to Catamount beer. I was divorced in 2004 and moved to Stratford, Ontario where I still reside along with my two dogs, Faolan and Liam. It's magical small town, full of culture and cuisine, that morphs to cosmopolitan when the Shakespeare Festival kicks in. Finally, after 15 years labor, my book, Boreal Dreams was published in April 2012. A suspense novel, it's doing much better than I thought and has become quite an incrediblde ride.
