Curtis Parkinson

Curtis Parkinson grew up in Kingston, Ontario. He graduated from Queen's University and worked as a chemical engineer for many years. Then he moved to the Caribbean to live on a sailboat and to write. As he says: "Many rejections later, the cat fell off the boat one night, and this story became my first published work, a picture book." Two more picture books and several short stories followed. Storm-Blast, his first novel, is set in the Caribbean Sea that he learned to love and respect. Curtis Parkinson has returned to Ontario, where he lives with his wife.
