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.

New Books In The Works For George Walters

Great looking day lies ahead. Not much happening in and around town that has come into my view. Few trucks moving up and down the Highway and regular folks going to pick up their mail and things. Myself I have been working on a novel that I have been wanting to do now for years, called Dark Angel. Fiction this time round, as after all these years of writing short stories of ones self, family or close friends, my mind said it wanted to be let loose. So I am giving it its chance, have to say so far it’s meeting my expectations. I also have started working on a children’s book, At this time I won’t be saying the title, but I will say this, it is going to be a book that all us grandparents or mothers and fathers will want to buy for the young one’s. My wife is about to start on all the illustrations, which will make the book come alive. When will it be out for all to buy? I will keep you up to date as things develop. I don’t think they will be out for spring, but one just never knows what fate brings on to oneself.  We are also in the process of doing up E-Books which will be made available in the near future if things work out.  My son’ Karl is working diligently on that end of things.  Well…tea time here, so have a great day, live the moment my friends, time moves along in ones life fast.

Yesterday I had to take my old car in for repairs at Kerry Booth’s Garage, early so didn’t get to entering things here at the Blog. But what can you do, things happen. Got a bit of things to do outside today since the temperatures are going to be up there a notch so that will give me the sunshine my old body needs. Hope you all find the time to get out for a bit too. Have a great day my friends.
