Mary Haskett, Author

I reside in Southwestern Ontario with my wife, May, and have recently retired from fulltime pastoral service.  I continue writing a weekly inspirational column in The Watford Guide-Advocate). I also write short fiction, short biography, and Bible character sketches, and am available for pulpit supply ministry.

In a former life I was a piano tuner-technician, and still enjoy hands-on music, playing piano, organ, and accordian (95% ear-playing), and still manage to pull off a tenor self-accompanied solo (well, some- o' -the-time ; s'gettng harder by the day). Much of that is now done in seniors' residences.  I occasionally write poetry and praise/worship songs.

My first book, Parables from the Pond, was a finalist in Word Alive Press' 2007 contest, and was published by them in 2008. It is being read by young and old and many folks in between. Specific uses have been bedtime stories, family devotions, supervised reading in Christian school, seniors residential readings, and a hospice for children from troubled backgrounds.

I am very honoured to be a member of The Word Guild and a friend of Mary and Allan Haskett, among many other great folk.

Peter.
