Welcome and hello eBook readers. Boy’s adventures and firefighter fiction are my forte. If you enjoy fast moving, adventure/suspense novels for juvenile/middle grade readers and adults you’ve come to the right place. There’s plenty of firefighter non-fiction written by Canadian firefighters, but no fiction as far as I know and that’s why you’ve got to read my work. It’s a refreshing departure from lawyer and cop stories set in America.
“You have a real talent with language. Every scene you describe is vivid, and the dialogue is alive and authentic.” -TransAtlantic Literary Agency
“Your work is certainly of merit…” - Robert Astle and Associates
If you think these covers are pretty hot, wait till you read what’s inside: explosions, hot romance, arson, murder, fire investigation, corruption, and obsession. Mainly, they are about the human condition. I like taking a stalwart, courageous firefighter, and throwing him in situations he’s never dealt with. As Monty Python says, “And now for something completely different.” These are the very first Canadian firefighter fiction eBooks and written by myself, a former firefighter and fire rescue captain with the City Of Edmonton. Available @ Smashwords and Amazon Kindle
“A wonderful sense of place, an interesting glimpse into adolescence in the seventies, a good story of a boy coping with the challenges of being a boy. This is a real page turner. …laced with descriptive touches that are not only apt and vivid but a pleasure to read. Very very good!” - Anonymous Judge, Writing For Alberta Youth Competition
In my juvenile/middle grade stories are adventurous boys who don’t appear tough or particularly brave at first. They don’t have magic wands or wise, talking creatures to help them. And they live on Earth, this earth, not a parallel one or some paranormal, weird planet. It’s all about reality. In fact, my boys aren’t particularly heroic, they’re fairly plain–until the sh-yite hits the fan. Inside they are lions and use their brains to get through their situations. True grit pulls them through. Integrity, friendship, bravery and courage are virtues of my main characters. Available @ Smashwords and Amazon Kindle

Under my Bio tab is In The Works where I’ll update my writing projects.
Check out my short stories under the Read Me tab. True Grit is a favorite short story of mine about my first job, delivering papers during a snowstorm. It damn near killed me. So far over 200 downloads. My cool book covers are photos taken by me and tweaked by my son Joel, an industrial designer in Toronto. If you’ve got an invention, he’s your man.
