About the author

What do you do when life hands you bipolar disorder? Well, write a book, of course. My first published book, Don Quixote Versus the Devil: True Accounts of my Bipolar Disorder Misadventures, deals with the trials and tribulations I experienced through my various manic episodes. The book has garnered various reactions, with people saying everything from "I couldn't put it down" to "it was too extreme for me." I welcome any input on it... the book is available in Kindle version on Amazon. The book is far from my only exploit in writing, however. I've written for various southern Ontario newspapers since 1989, and also have numerous short stories and two science fiction books (also available in Kindle format) under my belt. I'm happily married, thankfully with a wife who puts up with my being in the next room much of the time, writing away.
