Wishes Come True

About the Book

These stories are indeed, wishes come true. For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to write short stories. I had many good ideas, and often wrote complete stories in my mind. From there, they were lost in space, so to speak. Th ey were never put on paper and so just disappeared. Why was this? Well there never was any encouragement to use pen and paper. Th ere never was any time to indulge myself in this dream. So a vivid imagination, and lots of neat stories, never saw the light of day. I said often enough that I wanted to do some story writing. Nothing happened until I entered a short story writing contest 6 years ago, and did well. And so it continues. I’m not the best, but I do hold my place and I shall continue to do so.

About the Author

Born in Perth ON. I spent most of my life in Northern Ontario. I returned to school in 1968 and received an Accounting Diploma in 1971 and a General Science Degree in 1981. I spent thirty two years teaching adults in the Community College in Timmins and Moosonee and retired in 2000, moving to North Bay, and in 2005 to Sturgeon Falls along the river. I am married to Maria Leclerc- McAdam, a Personal Growth counselor who also gives workshops. We have seven children between us. I have always aspired to write about those ideas tumbling around in my imagination, but never got around to it until 2007 when I started putting things on paper as part of the Win Lit contests. In retirement, besides helping Maria in her work, I take the pontoon upriver as often as possible. We like to snowshoe, x-country ski and are avid readers.
