CANADIAN AUTHOR

Since retiring, I have written twelve books, all of them employing the history of my native city as either the subject or for the background of the story. In that way, I continue to promote the history of a city that I love.

There Never was a Better Time

A humorous story of young immigrant brothers and their mischievous grandfather in Toronto during the 1920s. The young men arrive in the city during one of the most dynamic decades in its history. They explores the sinful entertainment venues that confront them daily, much to the chagrin of the prim and proper mother.

The Villages Within

Arse Over Teakettle

A heart-warming story of coming-of-age during the 1940s in Toronto. Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn found adventure on the banks of the mighty Mississippi. Tom Hudson and his friend Shorty discovered it in the secluded laneways and avenues of a deceptively quiet Toronto neighbourhood.
