Right now I'm reading The Wildfire Season by Andrew Pyper (my edition has different cover art though). On page 75, he writes about one of the character's childhoods:
"He studies Alex now and grafts onto her skin the veil of her fortunate youth. Home-video years spent in Stratford, Ontario, a leafy postcard town of moneyed retirees, a repertory theatre, ball bearing factory, and gift shops. Her parents still lived there. Retired themselves now but keeping up the family home, a Tudor monster on one of the broad streets of competitive landscaping and gardens in which beloved Labradors were buried."
I didn't know it when I bought the book over the Lunar New Year break, but it turns out that he was born in our fair city in 1968. I think Carol saw him do a reading during highschool at one point too, so that's neat.
I bought a "Local Author" selection, and I didn't even know. It's pretty good too.
