Grahame Shannon walked around barefoot until he was five. Then his cruel parents dragged him to Canada from his native Grenada. He thought Montreal was cold and miserable until he was moved again, to Northern Alberta. At nineteen, he had the good sense to relocate to Vancouver.

He has founded yacht sales firms, boat-building companies, and even pioneered 3D CAD systems for boat design. He has designed many successful racing and cruising sailboats and powerboats. These days he is combining his love for storytelling with writing. He pens mystery novels that are inspired from his own adventures in life. Grahame still races yachts and sails the BC coast. He is married with two grown children, a lovely wife, and a horrible little dog.
