Edmond Gagnon
Edmond Gagnon grew up in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. He joined the Windsor Police Department in 1977, a month before his nineteenth birthday. After almost two years as a police cadet, Ed was promoted to Constable and walked a beat in downtown Windsor. He spent the next thirteen years in uniform, working the street. From there, he transferred to plain clothes where he worked in narcotics, vice, property crimes, fraud, and arson. He was promoted to Sergeant, then Detective. During that time, Ed investigated everything from theft and burglary to arson and murder. He retired with a total of thirty-one years and four months of service. Within weeks of retirement, Ed took to travelling the world, visiting countries in Southeast Asia and South America as well as riding his motorcycle all over Canada and the United States. He kept in touch with family and friends through email, sending them snippets and stories of his adventures. The recipients of his musings suggested he write a book about his travels and Ed put together a collection of short stories in his first book, A Casual Traveler. Bitten by the writing bug, Ed decided to share some of his police stories.He created the Norm Strom Crime Series, inspired by events and people he encountered during his years in law enforcement. In that series, Ed wrote and self-published Rat, Bloody Friday, Torch, Finding Hope, Border City Chronicles, Trafficking Chen and Border City Chronicles - Four More. He also wrote the Abigail Brown Crime Series with, Moon Mask and The Millionaire Murders. Edmond Gagnon continues to write, adding the science fiction thriller, Four, to his collection of novels. Ed still travels frequently and resides in Windsor, with his wife, Cathryn.
