All my life, I have been tempted by distractions, but not of the usual sort. While working, many people will let their minds wander, and wonder, “What’s on TV?” or “What’s in the fridge.” My main distraction is work, especially pending projects. Often, I will keep two or three Word files open, each one relating […]
This May will see the publication of my second book, Unsolved: True Canadian Cold Cases. It is listed on a number of websites, including Amazon, at
http://www.amazon.ca/Unsolved-True-Canadian-Cold-Cases/dp/1554887399
This book is radically different from the traditional “anthology” unsolved books. While my bookshelves are lined with many of these books – and I continue to read and enjoy them […]
Greetings everyone,

Cheers,
Robert

From cult recruitment to capital punishment, and art history to music, I’ve uploaded some of my part articles to The Vault section. These represent a very small section of my work (I haven’t touched on my years at The Toronto Star, television, or the many educational CD-Roms I wrote and produced over the years – […]
Hello Everyone,
I’ve added a number of articles to The Vault section, and will continue adding other pieces over the coming weeks. Enjoy! I look forward to your comments.
