Linwood Barclay

Linwood Barclay was born in the US, but his family moved to Canada just as he was turning four and ran a caravan park called Green Acres in Ontario. This is where Linwood grew up, and after his father’s death Linwood ran the family business until a Canadian daily newspaper offered him a reporting job.

After that, Linwood worked in journalism for 30 years as a reporter, columnist and editor, including a stint on the night shift piecing together the layout for the day’s newspapers.

Linwood now lives in Toronto with his with, Neetha, and they have two grown children. He’s also a self-confessed model railway nerd.
