I was born in Toronto, Canada but have lived in Melbourne, Australia since 1985. I’ve had a long-time interest in writing, commencing in the mid-1970s when I was a student at the University of Toronto. I was a regular contributor of sports’ articles to ‘The Varsity’ (U of T’s student newspaper) and also to Victoria University’s newspaper ‘The Strand’. Regular writing resumed in 1993 when I was invited to take on the preparation of my company’s office newsletter, called ‘Foxtales’. I grasped this opportunity with enthusiasm. Within 3 years I was doing the layout & design work as well as writing a lot of articles that appeared in Foxtales. I always felt I was in my element being the editor of our office newsletter and kept it going for 18 years (112 editions). Since 2011 I have continued to enjoy writing and between 2013-15, I wrote 4 biographies for friends at my former firm. Since this time, I have self-published 3 books. donaldwarner.com
