My latest historical novel, "Alberta: Black Gold," will soon be released by Chronicler Publishing. It is the story of a young farm boy, Peter O'Liam, who in 1936 leaves a poor farm near Evansburg, Alberta to make his way in a hostile world of the Great Depression.
The Second World War lifts him from poverty to war as he joins the army to fight against Nazi Germany and then into the economic growth that develops.
