Doug Reid

The author lives with his partner in splendid isolation on an island where Lake Ontario flows into the St. Lawrence River. His immediate world is quiet and beautiful—the changing river, dark nights with the Milky Way overhead, and the golden moon slowly rising over the silvery water. Wildflowers bloom in spring, tall grass sways in summer alongside streams of welcome visitors, while winter brings drifts of snow accompanied by an even deeper silence. He connects to the outside world through WhatsApp, BritBox, and a wealth of downloadable books, all while streaming his favorite music from Spotify. He writes because he believes he has something to say about this rich tapestry. His life is good.
