About

I have lived in Toronto my entire life and have spent the last thirty years engaging in educational community services that require a tremendous amount of research and preparation of presentations, thus honing my skills as a writer.  I began writing fiction in 2005, when a short-story contest in the Toronto Star caught my attention.  Finally, in 2017, one of my short stories Not Just a Number, was published in an anthology titled Strange Love Affairs, published by Strange Days Books.  In 2020, my children’s short story, Amy’s Plan, was one of five unpublished stories chosen as a finalist in an international competition by Eyelands Publishing. In April 2026, Garbage Day Dad was selected by Inmates Book Club of Canada for its ChiRP program (Children of Incarcerated Parents Reading Program). My poem, The Old Man’s Garage, appears in an edition volume 24 of Canadian Stories magazine.  I have written three novels: This Diamond Ring,  Into the Hurricane with a Cheap Umbrella (available on Amazon), and Who We Are Now.
