Autorenporträt
Ian Moore-Morrans, a machinist by trade, as well as a Scottish entertainer¿singing and playing in bands for well over fifty years in Canada, the UK, Egypt, and Mexicöand a busy husband, father, and grandfather, rarely found time for writing until his early sixties. After retirement (and marrying an editor), he quickly excelled, being named one of the "50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading" by THE AUTHORS SHOW in 2014. Came to Canada, Eh? Adventures of a Scottish Nomad is his fifth published book. Gayle Moore-Morrans has spent a great deal of her life writing, both in her work capacity as a Lutheran parish worker, secretary, social-services director, program director, and magazine editor-and in a personal capacity, documenting personal and family happenings. Her true passion, however, lies in editing and enhancing the writing of others, helping them to tell their stories as effectively as possible. In 1999, Esprit, the magazine she edited, received an Award of Merit for "General Excellence (Magazines - Specialized)" from The Canadian Church Press. Ian died on February 22, 2019, at age 86, but Gayle continues to co-write and edit his accumulated writings in Winnipeg, in a downtown seniors' apartment. She has a wide circle of friends in the city, as well as a stepdaughter/son-in-law, step-grandchildren/great-grandchildren living in Winnipeg, and the same in Flin Flon, Manitoba. Her own children live outside of Canada: a son in San Francisco, California, and a daughter, son-in-law, and three grandchildren in Norway, whom she visits whenever she can.
