WELCOME
I write books for children and young teenager. It's work I love. It's work I
can't stop myself from doing and I've been doing it for a long time.
Quite a few of my books are historical novels. One of the kids in this
picture asked me if I write about long-ago times because I remember them.
I'm old but I'm not that old. I write about people who lived one hundred,
sometimes two hundred, years before I was born. I long to go back into the
past and know some of those people so I do it by dreaming my way into their
stories. And writing them.
But historical stories are not all I write. I write short stories, picture
books, biography and I've written a history of Canada with my friend
Christopher Moore.
At present I'm working on two projects: a picture book about two lonely boys
and the first primeminister of Canada and my own family's history. This one
is for my children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
I'm glad you're here. On my site you can find out a lot more about my books,
my life, the answers to some of the most often asked questions, links to
some of my friends and to other books you might like plus a couple (?) of
video readings of my stories.
