Biography
Dave Easby lives on a hobby farm just outside Fredericton with his wife Anne, his rescue dog Oliver and a small flock of chickens. He spent thirty years in a variety of positions with the Canadian and New Brunswick Governments, retiring in 2005 as an Assistant Deputy Minister with the New Brunswick Department of Family and Community Services. Since much of that time was spent working on speeches and briefing notes for Ministers and other Senior Officials, he decided to try writing non-fiction for a change in his retirement years.

Growing up as an army brat and attending more than a half-dozen primary and high schools infected Dave with the travel bug and travel has always been a big part of his life. With neither he nor Anne being big fans of winter, upon retirement they decided to spend their winters in a small village on the Mexican Pacific Coast, before relocating a few years ago to Dunedin, Florida – the spring training home of the Toronto Blue Jays, another of Dave’s passions. Oliver gets to go, but the chickens are required to make alternative winter living arrangements. Dave has written two books of humourous short stories/essays about their travel experiences.
