(1942-1999) Canadian author who also wrote children's books as by Teddy Jam; best known for short stories and novels set among disturbed urban dwellers in contemporary Ontario. Too Bad Galahad (1972 chap), however, is an Arthurian Fabulation, and several of the stories assembled in Columbus and the Fat Lady, and Other Stories (coll 1972) and Night Flights: Stories New and Selected (coll 1978) contain fantasy. The Colours of War (1977) is a Near-Future tale of civil strife which segues into a Fantastic Voyage through time and space on a mysterious train (see Transportation), for which the Ontario countryside serves as a not ungrim backdrop.
