ABOUT

ABOUT, Hal J Finley

Born and raised in Muskoka, Ontario, Canada. Fast forward thru a career in mining and nuclear industries spanning 30+ years, involving a variety of colorful communities and some of the most remote areas the planet has to offer. Life adventures rewarded me with many good things, including an eclectic assortment of offbeat interests spanning quantum science to ancient civilizations. 

​

These interests contain the stuff that inspires both readers and writers of science fiction and somewhere along the way, I discovered I’m both. 

​

My wife Lise, and I live in Toronto.  My children think I’m a contractor.
