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.

Spring Isn’t To Far Away

We live in the great white north but I got a hinklin that spring is headed our way. I was talking to a friend in Michigan and they were telling me the Woodchucks, Starlings and Robins were all sighted yesterday, so I would think that is something that isn’t to far off here in Port Loring. Got to tell you folks I sure am ready for spring.  Think every bone in my body is aching this year because of the cold. Nice when in our home here heating with wood as it is the best source one can have for problems like I have.  Takes the dampness right out of the old bones.  Well Talk Soon.

Community Voice Column Update

Well things are rolling along here with my column in the Community Voice news paper. I have had a lot of new stories and things going into it these past few weeks, along with a few pictures I thought was of interest. I got to say Dawn the Managing Editor of the paper does a fantastic job in doing up my column each week. So guess that’s about it, hope you pick up a copy if you happen by one in your travels, as I know you won’t be disappointed. Should also mention that this paper comes out once a week near or around every Friday.  Talk Soon.
