John Moore





CREATIVE, colourful and entertaining are words that easily describe both author John Moore and his newest book "Three of a Kind". This semi-autobiographical account can best be described as a kind of novella trilogy which traces the life of "Jack" who gives us glimpses into his life during his young teens, late teens, and then as an adult. Lots of North Shore references, and home grown situations, make this book a must read. On January 24, John held a book launch at Kilby's restaurant in Edgemont Village. It was a veritable who's-who of the local literary scene honouring the very personable Mr. Moore and congratulating him on his latest success.
