Member Review
The Union was begun because, in the early '70s, writers had no way of comparing experiences. But the results have been much greater than expected: Public Lending Right, benefits for the institutional copying of our work through Access Copyright, informed contract advice, a network to draw upon, and a collective voice. All writers in Canada have benefited — not only those who have joined the Union and pay their dues.

Chuck Bowie
Chuck Bowie graduated from the University of New Brunswick, in Canada, with a Bachelor's Degree in Science. He still lives on the East Coast of Canada, an hour east of Maine. His writing is influenced by the study of human nature, and how people behave, habits he picked up as his family moved nineteen times in his first twenty one years. Chuck loves food, wine, music and travel, and all play a role in his writing.
He draws upon elements of these experiences to round out his characters and plotlines. Chuck is involved in the world of music, often playing with musicians, supporting them and celebrating their success. Because he enjoys venting with the best of them, Chuck writes the occasional essay, some of which can be found on his website: http://chuckbowie.ca
He is currently working through the fourth novel in his suspense-thriller series Donovan: Thief For Hire. The third is entitled Steal It All, and follows the success of Three Wrongs and AMACAT.
Chuck is married to Lois Willams. He has two adult sons who are also musicians. He can be contacted at chuckbowie33@gmail.com
