About the Author

Gary Adler was born and raised in the suburbs of Toronto, Canada, primarily by his mother, while his father worked slavishly to ensure that Gary had a sports car in the driveway for his seventeenth birthday. His educational career was rather sordid. Gary currently holds a record for the number of suspensions due to his smart mouth and propensity for mischief. He drowned storage rooms full of books, crammed every object he could find in toilets, and was known for hiding out in the staff room in order to collect faculty gossip. He threw rocks in the air like he just didn't care, TPed bathrooms, KOed teachers, rearranged staff parking lots, decorated vehicles with "He-Man" stickers, and used teachers' cars as his personal Port-O- Potty. He hung entrails in lockers, put fabric dye in shower heads, and used staff bathrooms as his personal motels. In university he earned a Doctorate in euchre, drinking, and smoking while managing to squeak by with an honours degree in science. He has saved a pathetic man from the ravages of the wild, endured the slings and arrows of those in power, and waded through human crapulence just to get to the other side. He has spent time in the stockade as a conscientious objector, would rather touch than be in touch, and has always travelled the "road not taken". He currently resides in Richmond Hill with his wife and two daughters.
