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 Report April 20/2020

Good Morning. Looking out it is a nice looking day. The sun is shinning and should remain with us for most the day. But it is cool with temperatures sitting at -2.9 C | 26.78 F. It will warm up a wee bit. Tonight though we will see some snow and we could get up to 3 inches or so. Warmer weather will start to take place Friday. So if things goes to plan we should have a nice weekend for a change. Highway 522 is bare and dry as of now, which will make travelling good for those that are in need of things. Today I will do some work around the house here and kind of take it a bit easy. With that, I am off for a cup of coffee and will then see what happens. Never know these days. Take care of yourselves.

Episode 20: Old Jessie’s Mine. This is a true story, told to me, many years ago by my Dad … while driving along in his old truck heading to Market. Great story that kept me, as a boy entertained, for most of the trip.
