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.

What’s Happening On March 30/2023

Good Morning!

It’s a sunny morning here for a change. However, the sun might be up this morning and showing itself, but it’s cold outside with the temperature sitting at -12.1 C | 10.22 F. lt will warm up a wee bit as the day moves forward. Highway 522 is bare and dry this morning, which will make travelling good for those in need of a few things in the cities.

We have had a lot of melting over the past week or so, but we still have a good foot of snow in most areas around our home. It will be nice to get rid of it all. Once the snow gets down to a couple inches, it won’t take long then.

On another note, I am still working away on my new Mystery Novel and today should get the ending wrote. After that it is editing and putting it into book size along with setting things up, so it can be read on a book reader. Still lots to do, but it is at least wrote, other than a few changes I might make while editing.

With that, I am off for Florida Grapefruit along with a couple pieces of raisin bread that my lovely wife is making for me.

Have a great day! GW

I took this picture last fall coming in from a day of fishing. Sure is pretty out there.

It won’t be long before I will be cleaning the dust off my pole. Looking forward to it!
