Biography

“See the life I’ve had can make a good man bad.”​​​

                                   -The Smiths

 

Born and raised at the periphery, the intrigue and inspiration of those who crossed lines blew Gregory around the Canadian Prairies like a jewel spider orb. He landed in Edmonton with his daughter after a crippling fall while building his passive solar home. However, that fall gave to him not only permanent pain but his greatest gift—staying home to raise his indubitable daughter. Those closest might say he’s passionate—not temperamental—quietly empathetic always looking out for his family and neighbours. When not writing or editing, you’ll find him in his kitchen either improving his culinary skills (not without a wine or local craft beer), dancing (was beer and wine mentioned), and/or filling the nights with games, music, and laughter with those he loves. 

 

So for once in his life…

He got what he wanted…
