For some years, I have been a professor of mathematics and computer science at Brandon University in Manitoba, Canada, editing books and publishing in journals, as the profession would demand. My interest in creative writing dates from my early twenties. I have written various short stories and co-authored a screenplay for a short television movie that recreates Shakespeare’s\u00a0Macbeth<\/em> in an orbiting space station. My science fantasy, Freija<\/em>, appeared in Manitoba Myriad: An Anthology of Poetry and Prose<\/em> [edited by V. Bullen, M.A. Lamy and E. Peers]. I have shared the stage with Giller Prize winner, David Bergen, in a double-reading event that was organized through the Brandon University creative writing program.<\/p>\n

My interest in all things relating to World War II—books, movies, museums—dates from earlier still, from when I was a boy. My most recent, and longer, creative work imagines a young woman, newly recruited to the Allied cause, and an Austrian schoolteacher. Their mission takes them from the D-Day invasion of Normandy to the death throes of the Nazi regime in the ruins of Berlin.<\/p>\n
