Industry Observer

Linwood Barclay will be giving a presentation at the Central Auditorium of the Oakville Public Libary on March 2nd, 2010 at 7pm.

Best known as an author who writes thrillers, Linwood's books are often bestsellers.

He will be talking about his book,' Fear the Worst'.
He'll also talk about his book, 'Never Look Away', which will be released on the same day as his presentation at the Oakville Public Library.

Linwood moved to Canada from the USA when he was 4 years old. He received his post secondary education at Trent University in Peterborough and got his first writing job at the Peterborough Examiner.

The Toronto Star hired him in 1981. While there he held various editorial positions and eventually became the humour columnist in 1993,

He retired from the Toronto Star in 2008 to devote his time exclusively to writing his books.

For a fascinating evening spent with a fascinating man, you'll want to make sure you attend.
Tickets for an 'Evening With Linwood Barclay' can be purchased at the Oakville Public Library for $5.

I wasn't aware that Linwood had left the Star two years ago.  I used to read him all the time back in the days when I read newspapers on paper.

Marc,

He's done extremely well with his writing...both non-fiction and fiction. I'm going to attend his talk at the library...
