Bio
I am a new author of gay fiction.
Born in the Niagara Region of Southern Ontario, I was raised in Toronto.
While growing up gay is always a challenge, it was considerably challenging growing up gay in the 1960s and 1970s. Living in a larger urban centre certainly had its advantages back then, but there has been a lot of change in the past 40 years.
Some of my writing takes root in a lot of things I experienced as a gay man growing up in that time, yet some projects focus on the good things, positive changes and important events that have begun to make gay life much better, much richer in the present. None of my work concedes that all is done. There is more to do. But I try to celebrate the rich diversity of Canadian culture, particularly as it relates to the LGBTQ community. Each new success is worth the effort that has been put forward by so many gay and lesbian Canadians.
I hope you will come to the party.
