“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.
