There must be something in the water that attracts such talented authors to Barrie and the Simcoe Country Area. Brew some hot cocoa, snuggle under a blanket and take a deep dive into the works of these 3 great writers.
Barrie Doyle
No, we didn't choose him because his name is Barrie (Although it is a nice bonus). Barrie was originally born in Wales and has since made his home on the shores of Georgian Bay. If you're looking for a dark fantasy tale to sink your teeth into, The Oak Grove Conspiracy is his book series that will have your spine tingling. Take a stab at book one and you won't be able to keep your hands off of the next two!
Tracy L. Ward
Tracy, who lives in Midhurst, is the best selling author of The Marshall House Mystery Series, telling the chilling tales of a Victorian-era surgeon who solves crimes with early forensic science. The series has 5 entries already so there is no shortage of books to read and mysteries to solve!
Kenneth Thompson
Kenneth grew up in Newmarket and is the Author of two books: Humor Me and To Tell A Tale Or Two, each a collection of poems, vignettes and short stories that will have you chuckling alone like a fool. We wouldn't expect any less from the man who won the "Funniest Twitter Account" title in his high school yearbook. Kenneth may never reach those heights again, but in the meantime, these books are spot on.
World Book Day gives you the perfect excuse (not like you need one) to check out these 3 fantastic authors.
