A naïve councilman and a down-on-her-luck single mom try to save their county’s last stand of forest from greedy developers and a dysfunctional government.
After 30 years of teaching, 40 years of theatre directing, and 10 novels, Gordon thinks it's time to publish something. Semi-retired and living in Delta, B. C., Gordon divides his time between writing, directing, and renovating his cottage.
Background
Information
As a student of Drama, Gordon's work is more influenced by the great playwrights than by novelists. As a teacher, his work is always aimed at young people first, but with a depth of idea and humour that an adult will enjoy. As an academic, (MA, BA, Teaching Certificate) he is always aware of the ideas of his stories. To paraphrase Thumper in Bambi, "If you ain't got nothin' to say…don't say it."
He specializes in strong themes, strong characters (often women) and his own brand of humour, which, in real life, gets him into trouble more often than not.
