How has New Brunswick influenced your work?
New Brunswick’s unique history has remained a preoccupation for many years and chronicling this compelling story has been my goal.
What is your favourite New Brunswick book, and why?
My favourite New Brunswick book is Song of the Reel by George Frederick Clarke (Fredericton: Brunswick Press, 1960). Clarke describes with charm and passion, the great joy of fishing salmon and trout in New Brunswick when the rivers were pristine.
What do you consider to be the highlight of your career so far?
The highlight would be the publication of my first book Maritime Firsts (N.S.: Pottersfield Press, 1996) that became an instant best seller.
