Degrees, however, aren’t worth much unless you put them to use. Gord has worked as a commercial painter, researcher, program analyst, market analyst, housing analyst / regional economist and policy analyst. He holds Canadian and U.S. Patents for an original invention ‘The Anglers’ Holster.’He enjoys hunting and fishing, music and exploring life through writing. He sees short stories as a tool for communicating life experiences and notes: “As human beings we are capable of so much more than we will ever accomplish.” He writes in a style described as Modern English and hopes that his writing will temporarily stop the world and melt with you, the reader.Connect with Gord GarlandE-mail mail to: gordo.garland@gmail.comFax: 1-519-612-1011Mailing Address:61 Essex Street / Goderich, Ontario / Canada, N7A 2H5Smashwords Author Page
