Profile
Over the past 40 years I’ve worked all sides of the publishing desk: journalist, ghost-writer, author, editor, publisher. I have four novels, two collections of short fiction, and three non-fiction books in publication.
For 12 years I operated Five Rivers Publishing, giving voice to over 30 Canadian authors, and publishing over 100 books, some of which went on to be short-listed for awards.
I co-edited with Susan MacGregor, Tesseracts Twenty-Two: Alchemy and Artifacts.
I’m also pleased to be a reviewer and editor at On Spec Magazine.

- freelance journalist and columnist Orangeville Banner
