About Me

Wayne Arthur Harris was born in Ontario, Canada in 1952. He is the author of two books. Rewind To Ancient Times (A Collection Of Stories) was published in 2002. Replay To Ancient Days (The Second Collection Of Stories) was published in 2005. He began writing in the 1960's, but tucked everything away until deciding to let the world view his work in the new millennium. He composes his pieces during the cold winter months, when the weather entices one to dream. Enter a world of fantasy, magic, and the mystical unknown. The realm of kings, queens, knights and chivalry. Hold on tight, as each tale of adventure and passion unfolds. An experience not to be dismissed. Prior to the year 2000, the author spent well over twenty years in the music industry primarily in sales. He was also a part of the home video industry from its inception, working in sales with some of the greatest motion pictures of our age. During his lifetime he has had the privilege to see perform live such legendary artists as; Alice Cooper, Chuck Berry, Blood Sweat & Tears, Chicago, Celine Dion, Faith Hill, Iron Butterfly, Jethro Tull, Janis Joplin, Toby Keith, Led Zeppelin, Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard, Tim McGraw, Alanis Morissette, Mountain, Dolly Parton, Steppenwolf, Strawbs, Ten Years After, The Band, The Doors, The Grateful Dead, The Plastic Ono Band (with Eric Clapton), Traffic, Shania Twain, and Neil Young to name a few. ..
