BIO
Biography

Thomas Harrison is a teacher, lawyer and a multidisiciplinary artist who lives on his family horse farm in beautiful Prince Edward County, Ontario.  As an emerging artist, writing/visual/performance, Thomas has moved from a career as Provincial Crown Counsel and as a teacher to make his mark in the creative arts.  His current plublication, "Searching for Richard Nixon: Finding Refuge and Making a Home in Prince Edward County", is his first book length work, and presents a mix of non-fiction, memoir and a bit of travelogue and local history.  The work follows the author's investigation into a secret weekend trip Vice-President Nixon took to Canada in 1957, in a work that reveals hidden details of an explored chapter of Canadian and American Presidential history, that also resonates with our current times, including the election of Donald Trump.
