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.

Morning Chat Oct 31/2020

It’s a cold morning here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. Temperatures waking up were sitting at -8.1 C | 17.42 F. It’s the coldest morning so far. But in saying that it will warm up a lot by the middle of the week. I might even be able to wash my car … and if real lucky, maybe put on a coat of wax for winter. That would be nice. We should see lots of sunshine today which will make things nicer. It seems … no matter what the day is, if it is sunny, things roll along a lot better. We also had a very heavy frost last night and everything from the top of the trees, down to the grass is white. But it will melt off now the sun is showing itself. Looks nice though. Highway 522 has been quite busy these days with more hunters coming into our area. The bush must be full! The good news for the deer is, that once that first shot is fired they go into hiding, knowing perfectly well what time of year it is. LOL As I said in other posts, I don’t hunt anymore. I haven’t got the gumption to sit out in the cold wet damp weather anymore. My warm house is more enticing these days. LOL Yesterday I got tied up on some things in our basement, so that is the reason for not doing my morning post. Today I am working on my website or blog, both the same. Making it so my wife can show off her paintings and things she has done over the years. Make sure you take a look when you find time. She is real talented artist. After that, I will then get to work on some new Podcasts. I would like to get another 100 done this winter. That’s my goal for now. Once finished … I will have 200 out there for folks to listen to. Kind of nice. With that I am off for my morning cup of coffee with my lovely wife, and I am thinking a poached egg on toast would be nice. I’ll talk real nice to my wife and see what she says. LOL Take care, stay safe, and do what’s right. Things are still very bad out there. Oh! And Happy Halloween! GW
