Quantum Events

Employing rich language and tight narratives, George has provided us with a collection that offers a unique, perhaps even at times other worldly, perspective. Utilising styles ranging from poetry to screen plays, and everything in between, these slice-of-of life tales are punctuated throughout with George's dry sense of humour. As to be expected, he covers ground both philosophical and contemplative, offering up a smorgasbord of insightful and thought provoking stories. People from elsewhere, snapshots of lives in passing, immigrants and aboriginals; the mosaic of Canada and life in Vancouver are all lightly interwoven throughout the collection.

While traveling on business during his career, George wrote numerous short stories and many filmscripts, including Shroomtown, Hellenic Digits, Hammurabi, L5, World HQ, Where There's Smoke, and Protocol Omega. A past president of the Federation of BC Writers, he was awarded their prestigious Honorary Life Membership in 2016. Current projects include an ambitious novel called The Antichrist of Stanley Park, which takes place in Nunavut and Vancouver; a book by George and Ron M. Craig called In a Cloud of Sails, which follows the remarkable adventures of a square-rigged sailing ship built in North Vancouver in 1968; and The Giants of Cathedral Grove, about a clan of neandertals who, unsuccessfully, tried to hide from the other humans in a remote part of the world. George founded a publishing company called Rutherford Press. Its first publications were Notes To Mother by Jeff Berry, and Flying With White Eagle by Ben Nuttall-Smith. Also proudly offered are Explore the Alaskan Coast and French Silk on Water, by Patrick Hill, along with further works by Ben Nuttall-Smith titled Crescent Beach Reflections, Mad God of the Toltecs, Discovered In A Scream, and Henry Hamster, Esquire
