About the Author

I was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia in 1948. I left home at age 16 and, after a brief stint in the army, I began a career as a merchant seaman (12 years). This took me to many places in the world. Following that, I entered into a professional career as a transportation /logistics specialist. Somewhere in there I took a few years off and ‘thumbed’ my way across North America and Mexico as part of the ‘Hippie’ counterculture movement. I was also active in the civil rights and anti-war movements.

I have lived and worked in many countries over the course of my life and have gained a knowledge and appreciation for the differences we share as humans. I like to think that this life experience has enabled me to apply a certain perspective to my characters and stories.

Editorial Reviews

Interesting and well written mystery dealing with Prohibition. Conway goes undercover asa truckdriverr and owner of the vehicle. Two mob characters from the US travel to Canada to help the smuggling. The material was fascinating and all the action seemed real. Enjoyed this bit to undo crime a lot.
