“I was born in Darien, Connecticut, but in 1959, when I was four, my parents moved to the suburbs of Toronto. Then, in the late 1960s, they bought a cottage in a resort/trailer park in the Kawarthas region of Ontario, and we moved up there. I wrote a book about it in 2000 called 'Last Resort: Coming of Age in Cottage Country.” BookCountryAgeLastsParentBornFourLateMovedParksRegionsComing Of AgeResorts1960sSuburbsTrailersTorontoCottagesConnecticutOntarioTrailer Park Author:Linwood Barclay

“Before I left the 'Star' last year to write books full-time, I welcomed catastrophe. It was material. Missed planes, broken pipes, dead lawns, digestive disorders, you name it, if it was something that had gone horribly wrong, it was worth banging out 600 words about.” IfsWritingYearsBookLastsNamesLeftStarsGoneMaterialsBrokenPlanesDisorderLast YearCatastrophePipeLawnsBanging Author:Linwood Barclay
