Biographie de l'auteur

Bill Harris was born in Nova Scotia, Canada, in 1934. He was born out of wedlock in a time when illegitimacy was frowned upon. He was a sensitive boy, and for many years he suffered from low self-esteem. After a failed marriage, he met his soul mate at the age of forty-nine. Her name was Susan Fox, and she turned his life around. In 2003, his best friend, a troubled genius named Bill Folker, passed away. He mourned the thought that his "one of a kind" comrade would soon be forgotten. His wife, Susan, convinced him to write a tribute book. Up until that time, he had no idea he had an aptitude for writing. She led him down the path, and writing is now his passion. He will write until his time runs out.
