Welcome/Bienvenue

A new website is an exciting transition for a writer, and also a valuable tool. In this case the site was established to generate needed feedback for a proposed book - my first. Manly Edward MacDonald, Interpreter of Old Ontario is in the second draft and so, with this site I hope you will help fill in the blanks concerning his paintings and portraits, or provide information and anecdotes pertaining to his work. Please click the link to find out more about this prolific Ontario painter.

This website has a further aim. Since my retirement, or rather in the next phase of my working life, I have been writing and providing writing services. Beginning years ago, the writing bug metamorphosed into a freelance career for me in newspapers and magazines. The book developed partly out of that work and also from a boyhood experience having met Manly E. MacDonald, the painter.

Check out the site:

• About will provide you with my educational and related experience and credentials
• Services explains what I do and can do for you
• The Manly MacDonald page provides the background about this painter, his art, the book, and how to contact me.

Hoping to hear from you for any number of reasons!
