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.

Second Snow Fall Over Night

Well had our second snow fall for this Fall. Darn cold out there this morning as down to 20 degrees.  Had about four inches of the white stuff.  Sure looks pretty out there though with the snow making the branches on our huge pines just hang.  Good to be alive and kickin.  Talk Soon

Cold Morning Here In Port Loring

Well cool morning here to wake up too.  Down to 20 Degrees with a sniff of snow on the ground. I still go by the old scale, don’t like metric one bit.  All metric did is complicate things that have been prefectly good for hundreds of years, not to forget how many billions of dollars it cost us.  This is one old feller that didn’t change his ways.  Not many of us left out there either.  Got the old wood furnace going here this morning. Had to get up once last night and throw a couple more logs in the furnace.  But I enjoy doing it.  Just going to have a tea here then get back to working on my second book.  Hope you all are well.  Talk Soon

Cool Wet Day

Well cool day here but just a few minutes ago seen a glimmer of sunshine. So might be a nice Sunday Afternoon.  Been so busy the past few days burning brush and things on our piece of property that I haven’t had time to rest, so figured it’s a good day to take a break.  Since I moved here to Port Loring I got to say I never seen a more pretty piece of country in all my days.  Just sitting here looking out my windows is a picture in itself.   Old wood furnace is perking away, and, well, I am just enjoying life with my lovely wife.  Talk Soon.
