Author Biography

Brian is a Canadian currently living and working in the Middle East. Although he has lived the past ten years in China, The United Arab Emirates and Qatar, Brian has lived in most regions of Canada including Saskatchewan (where much of this story takes place) Calgary (where Brian grew up), Winnipeg (Brian's birthplace) Vancouver, London, and Yellowknife. Brian spent the first thirty years of his work life in business as an accountant and a manager and for the past ten years has been teaching business at colleges overseas. Brian took up writing as a hobby after the birth of his first grandson in order to preserve all of the little family stories that one accumulates over a lifetime. Much of Brian's writing is about his personal experiences, but he has written several fiction short stories and novels. You may contact Brian by email at brianborgford@outlook.com
