With his trademark wit and strong emotional insight, Trevor Cole has created a compelling, tender story that captures a family at a crucial turning point.
Both books have been adapted for CBC radio and optioned for film.
He has written two novels - Norman Bray in the Performance of His Life (2004), and The Fearsome Particles (2006) - and, in a rare achievement, both were short-listed for the Governor-General's Award for Literature.
He is also a multiple-award-winning journalist and magazine editor who spent 15 years in the magazine division of The Globe and Mail, culminating in a successful three-year stint as a senior writer with Report on Business Magazine. Upon leaving the Globe, he wrote an acclaimed satirical column for Canadian Business, which for two years existed as a notorious irritant to many of Canada's most prominent business leaders.
At various times in his career he has spoken to students and to aspiring writers about the writing process, and today he is making an ongoing contribution to Canada's literary community through his website, AuthorsAloud.com, which provides both newly published and established authors with a forum for recorded readings of their work.
Currently he lives with his wife and daughter in Hamilton, Ontario, and is at work on his third novel.
