I am an author and anthologist with a special interest in literature both mainstream and offbeat. I live and work in Toronto, Canada. My byline appears on the title pages of over 222 books (as of June 2014), notably volumes of poetry, literature, science fiction, Canadiana, studies in the paranormal, etc. For more information, check my webpage (www.colombo.ca) for my latest publications. Two of my recent books appear as Kindle originals. These are issued by my own imprint, Colombo & Company. "Ghosts over Canada" is a collection of told-as-true accounts of ghosts and spirits reported by Canadians of all walks of life. "A Sax Rohmer Miscellany" is a short account of my fascination with the writings of the British author Sax Rohmer, best known as the creator of the fictional villain, Dr. Fu Manchu. It includes some original correspondence from the author to the compiler.Amazon distributes ebook editions of a number of my recent publications, including "The Northrop Frye Quote Book" and "Jeepers Creepers" (a collection of hitherto unpublished accounts of anomalous events and experiences. Amazon's site also features some of my backlist,individual titles of which are available through book services like Advanced Book Exchange. Canadians know me as "the Canadian Bartlett" for a whole series of "quote books," well researched dictionaries of important or interesting Canadian quotations. I take pride in "The Dominion Series," six quality paperbacks that present Native lore and literature, including a bestselling volume on the Wendigo and another on the Mystery of the Shaking Tent.I also devoted much time to "The Saurat Trilogy" which consists of reference and critical work on the Anglo-French writer and teacher, Denis Saurat. For each of the last ten years I have issued a volume of my new poems along with a "dream diary" of experiences. Poems written in 2013 appear in "A World of Differences."
