Gordon Plotkin

I was born in Montreal in the 60s and grew up in the suburb of Chomedey Laval through the 70s and 80s.It wasn’t until my late teens that the desire to write emerged. I dabbled for many years while life got in the way of my dreams. It’s been a great life – a charmed life in some ways. But at the age of 56, I decided it could not be a full life without pursuing my dream to be a novelist. It’s been a journey, a journey of discovery and knowledge. I discovered the difference between a storyteller and a writer. And I pursued the knowledge to evolve into the latter. I was fortunate to have worked with a professional editor, book reviewer and author. He helped me find my story and taught me how to write it. Why I chose Literary Fiction with a historical backdrop as my genres may not have been the wisest of choices from a commercial standpoint. Fortunately, my dichotomous day job in the corporate world is enough to support my literary habit. I do hope my books catch on, I have been told my fiction contains important truths.
