I'm Bert Collingwood, a Canadian ghost writer. While I occasionally dabble in humour and have a secret desire to win the Leacock Medal, I typically write non-fiction. Behind the scenes, I have contributed to corporate and shareholder communications, often involving complex issues of finance, business, tax and law. My favourite topics are white collar crime and the environment, but not necessarily at the same time.
