Patrick D'Entremont

Patrick d’Entremont is a former newspaper and magazine columnist who writes novels set in rural Nova Scotia, based on his childhood growing up in the 1960s.

Patrick grew up in West Pubnico, Nova Scotia, Canada, a fishing community founded by returning exiles following the Acadian expulsion of 1755. His stories show how growing up in this milieu shaped who he became as an adult, a coming-of-age reminiscing that he hopes resonates with many people, whether or not of Acadian descent. He now lives in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

A sequel set in the university years and a prequel with all the backstories are current works in progress.
