Barry Finlay is a fiction and non-fiction author. In his previous life, he had an extensive career in financial management before retiring in 2004 after thirty two years with the Canadian federal government. Since retiring, he has divided his time between writing, working as a consultant on financial policy matters, travel, playing golf, climbing mountains, philanthropy and enjoying his three grandchildren. In 2009, Barry got off the couch and climbed Mount Kilimanjaro with his son, Chris. The experience of climbing Africa's highest mountain at age 60 with one of his sons and discovering the satisfaction of reaching a goal and giving others the opportunity to achieve theirs, was a non-fiction book waiting to be written. The travel memoir and inspirational Kilimanjaro and Beyond has won numerous awards and Barry was featured in the Authors Show book, "50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading" as a result. He enjoyed the writing experience so much he has since written eleven more published books, including the humorous travel memoir, I Guess We Missed The Boat, the five-book Marcie Kane Thriller Collection and the three-book (so far) Jake Scott Mystery Series. Many of his books have received literary awards and achieved Amazon bestseller status. His most recent release, Just Keep Climbing, chronicles the inspirational stories of eight people as they face the challenges life has thrown at them. All of them have the resolve to just keep climbing. Just Keep Climbing reached the shortlist in the Page Turner Awards Non Fiction category and received a Bronze medal in the Reader Views Reviewers Choice Awards Self Help category. Barry is a recipient of the Queen Elizabeth Diamond Jubilee medal for philanthropy. He lives with his wife Evelyn in Ottawa, Canada.
