Hello. Thanks for dropping by. The most pressing news I have to share is that I’ve completed a book-length memoir entitled The Adventures of Chip Tower: P.I., an amusing and poignant account of my first season manning the Chipewyan Lakes forestry lookout in northern Alberta.

Throughout my website you will find samples of my writing, including an excerpt from my memoir. I invite you to partake in these exclusive offerings and to connect with me through social media or email.

Regards,

Cory
