All posts by George Walters

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 9/2022

It’s a sunny day here in Northern Ontario, The temperature isn’t all that bad, neither. Getting out of bed, it was sitting at -3.4 C | 25.88 F. And it will warm up a lot as the day moves forward. Feeding our birds this morning, I could feel the warmth of the sunshine on my face. It felt good too. Feeling that is a sure sign, that the warm weather isn’t that far off. Highway 522 is bare and mostly dry this morning, which will make travelling good.

On another note, now that the weather is starting to head off into the right direction, my wife and I are going to start getting our small Gift Shop in order, so we can have a Grand Reopening. Which should be around the 24th of May if things goes to plan. We have been close because of this virus now for over two years. We are looking forward to seeing all our friends that usually always dropped by for a visit, along with new folks. I will do some special posts here on my Blog of how things are going occasionally.

With that, I am off for some homemade waffles that my lovely wife is making me, and will then get to work. Lots to do now that things are warming up. Have a great day and stay safe! This virus is still out there, not as bad as the earlier strains, but it still has the potential of making a person pretty sick. GW
