Greg McVicker

Greg McVicker is an Irish Author, Poet, and Story Teller who was born and raised in Belfast, Northern Ireland, during a period of sectarian hatred and a violent, political war known as 'The Troubles'.

A Social Worker as his career choice and through his other published works, Greg is unwavering in his efforts to shed light on various world experiences that people have in their daily lives, both individually and collectively, but are often left to suffer in silence.

Although Greg obtained his Social Work at the University of Manitoba, along with his minor degree in Native Studies, much of his work focuses on advocating for and improving the lives of Canada's Indigenous population, specifically the Anishinaabe (Ojibwe), within the province of Manitoba. Greg currently works as a Supervisor in Child and Family Services.

In his Silly Billy series, Greg casts his mind back to his happier childhood days of growing up within his community of Knockview and the surrounding areas within Newtownabbey. He has carefully brought those cherished memories and extremely wonderful experiences back to life between the pages of the three stories that are captured within this book.

Greg does several speaking engagements within the United States of America based on his experiences and memories of growing up during 'The Troubles' within Northern Ireland's dark history, but is including his Silly Billy series of stories in sharing with children at primary schools in Belfast, Northern Ireland and in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.

Next up, is that Greg will be working with two fellow Irish authors on a collaboration of their own crafted, emotionally written poetry and should be releasing those within the new year.

Greg is also branching out in that he is currently narrating and producing the audio versions of his books which should be available soon. Once that is complete, he will turn his attention and will scribe the true life story of a friend and life which has not only been experienced by herself, but thousands of others who have walked in her shoes.

Lastly, Greg has written and produced awareness videos for both Pandemic Preparedness and HIV Prevention.
