George Walters is a Canadian columnist and author with more than forty years of writing experience. For over twenty years he has written a weekly column for Postmedia Network — Canada's largest newspaper chain — never missing a single week, publishing fifty-two stories a year. Combined with his work in Reader's Digest Community Voices, World News, Country Living, The Country Register, and farm and rural lifestyle magazines across Canada, he has published well over two thousand stories drawn from everyday life.
He writes about farm work, fishing, old trucks, and the kind of people you only find in small towns — but just as likely he'll hand a voice to a weathered telephone pole, or turn his eye on something happening in the world today and tell you exactly what he thinks about it. No subject is off limits. If there's a story in it, George will find it.
He has been called a philosopher of everyday life, a description that came up more than once during his television appearances over the years — and it's not hard to see why. His writing has a way of making the ordinary feel worth sitting with.
He is the author of eleven books, including yearly short story collections and the Clay Moretti Files mystery series. Clay is a fifty-year-old private investigator who drives a 1967 Ford Galaxie, smokes cigars, and operates by a code the modern world gave up on a long time ago. The cases are present day. The man handling them is not. All titles are available in paperback and eBook on Amazon.
Together, George and his wife Ruth have also created Elmer Finds His Way, the first in what he hopes will be a long series of children's books. Ruth did all the illustrations, as she has for every one of George's books — and beyond that she designed and painted the covers as well. Her work is woven into every page of everything he has published.
A few words from readers:
"I pulled up a kitchen chair and read your story three times."
"You have a way of making a person homesick for a place they haven't been to."
"Thank you for writing things that make old people and kids feel the same way at the same time."
All my titles are available in paperback and eBook on Amazon.ca here.
So after a lot of work, we now have a small cottage for rent here by our home. Sleeps two. None Smoking, No Pets. It has everything one needs and then some.
Other than a nice location, it comes with a barbecue on the deck and a fire pit with free campfire wood. All utensils, air conditioning, electric space heater, Small Fridge with small freezer, High Speed Internet (Star Link) … Satellight TV (Shaw,)
It is also walking distance from two restaurants, two hardware stores, gift shops along with the LCBO almost right across the street. And to top it off, we are surrounded by some great places to fish.
We also have a small gift shop on the property and a vegetable garden with lots of fresh veggies when in season. Nothing like a tasty toasted tomato sandwich.
For more information, pricing and dates, you can call us at 705 757 1640. Your Hosts George & Ruth Walters.
