About the Author I am the author of fifteen bestselling books, most about the social history and colourful personalities of Canadas past.Born, raised, and educated in Dublin, Ireland, I have called Canada home for the past fifty years. Since 1974, I have lived and worked in Calgary, where I spent twentyfive years as a staff columnist and features writer with theCalgary Herald. Before that, I toured Canada as a professional musician and worked as a radio announcer in Prince George, British Columbia.I have won numerous awards for my journalism, including two Western Magazine Gold Awards, the national Hollobon Award for medical reporting, and the Professional Writers Association of Canada Features Writing Award for a profile of Calgary mayor Naheed Nenshi.I have also won awards for my books, including the first Dave Greber Freelance Writers Award forRomancing the Rockies, and the Petroleum History Societys Lifetime Achievement Award for making numerous contributions to the body of literature concerning the Canadian petroleum industry, including many focused on its colourful personalities and significant events.My interest in Canadian history was sparked in 1992 when I was assigned by theCalgary Herald to write a daily feature column about the lives of extraordinary individuals who had recently died. When I left theHeraldin 1999, I revisited several of those columns to incorporate the stories into my books.One of my most constantly soughtafter books isScoundrels and Scallywags, which sold more than ten thousand copies and topped the regional bestseller charts for more than eighteen months. A sale of five thousand copies, according to generallyaccepted industry standards, qualifies as a bestseller in Canada.When not writing books and delivering speaking engagements, I play the piano, mostly for fun and sometimes for profit.
