David Montrose

David Montrose was the pen name of Charles Ross Graham (1920-1968). Born in New Brunswick, he was raised in Nova Scotia, where he attended Dalhousie University. Further studies at McGill and Harvard were interrupted by service in the Canadian Army. Most of Graham’s adult life was spent in Montreal, where he eked out a living writing and teaching.

John McFetridge was born and raised in Montreal. He is the author of six novels. His Constable Eddie Dougherty series, Black Rock (2014) and A Little More Free (2015), has been described by Publishers Weekly as “a fine character study, and a vivid snapshot of 1970s Montreal.” He currently lives in Toronto with his wife and two sons.
