Welcome
to FWPerry Creative Projects. Since retiring from being
a high school guidance counsellor and teacher, I've had more time
to be creative in a variety of ways.
I've
always been a writer and at one time had regular columns in two
local newspapers. Using the same title as one of my old columns,
I moved it online, and on an irregular basis I post an opinion
blog ("web log"). Please check it out, and leave a comment
on any of the articles. Past articles can be seen in the Archives
section. Haven't been posting as much lately, but there are a
lot of archived articles that you might find interesting.
With
the time available in retirement, I also completed my first novel,
and published it in October 2010. You can check out Approaching
Storm on the Storm
Novels site, and see some of the many comments I've received
on the book. If it catches your interest, you can also order a
copy from that site. Several readers suggested a sequel
to the book, so in November 2011 the sequel Storm Passing
came out. Check it out as well. It can be read by itself, but
it's even better to get to know the characters in Approaching
Storm first. I combined the two novels under the "Storm
Novels" title, and combined the sites. Clicking on either
book to the left will take you to it.
While
publishing my novels, I learned the techniques needed to self-publish
a quality book. For a time I was publishing books for others,
but with changes in my computers, publishing program requirements,
and escalating costs using a US book printer, I decided to get
out of that enterprise.
Painting
is another area that retirement opened up. Like writing, I had
always dabbled in art, but in retirement took this to another
level. My paintings were often displayed locally when we lived
in southwestern Nova Scotia, but with our recent move to another
province, I reduced any on hand to just a few for our own use.
I'll continue to paint, though in a location away from the sea,
I'm not sure what my focus will be in future!
