John David Grant is a lifelong fan of science fiction, fantasy, and the paranormal, be it in books, cartoons, movies, video games, or comics. A forty-year career working in health care-as a medical officer in the Canadian Air Force (Portage la Prairie, MB), a general practitioner in Cape Breton (NS), a pediatrician in both Sydney (NS) and Kentville (NS), and a pediatric emergency physician at the IWK Health Centre in Halifax-predates this second career as a writer and novelist. Flowers for Gaia is his first published novel, but others are en route."Creating a fantasy world and a meaningful story filled with characters that breathe is both a daunting and thrilling undertaking," says John. "Being able to share this with readers is even more amazing".John and his wife live in the beautiful Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia.
