Autorenporträt
Maurice Simpson was born and grew up in the small city of Lethbridge, Alberta, population 15,000. Southern Alberta was the heart of the irrigation farming industry and Lethbridge was within an hour's drive of two of the largest aboriginal communities in Canada. He graduated from the University of Alberta in 1960 with a Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy and in 1967 with an MD. By that time, Lethbridge had more than doubled in size to 37,000. In comparison, Fort McMurray had a population of 3,387. The story takes place in a mythical setting about 90 minutes southeast of Fort McMurray, circa 2015, by now a resource city of 125,032 including the immediate surrounding area. Beginning a Family Practice in 1968 in Lethbridge, Maurice became involved almost immediately in emergency medicine and EMS activities and in the mid-eighties became the first Medical Director of EMS for the integrated Lethbridge Fire and EMS Service. With the coming of the regionalization of the Provincial Health Service, he found himself involved in the organization and direction of Continuing Care and was fortunate enough to be consulted by a Dene First Nations community where he saw first hand the incredible potential for community development in both public health and social development. Now retired, he has dabbled in authorship, first with the publishing of a self-help book entitled "Being Your Own Best Doctor" and now, on a dare, a fictional account of the trials of a rural community struggling with multiple challenges including health, corruption, crime, a touch of romance and ethnic conflicts. Dr. Simpson and his wife Marlene enjoy a blended family of six children and ten grandchildren.
