Gerry Bradley
Gerry was born and raised on Prince Edward Island. He went off to Dublin in 1976 looking for the ghost of James Joyce, and found it a year later in the bottom of any empty pint of Guinness in McDaid’s pub, Harry Street. Joyce’s ghost instructed him to go back home and get a job. He then spent thirty-four years working in community mental health in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, and is now recently retired. He lives in Port Moody with his wife, Sasha, and their dog, Roxy. When not cutting the grass or washing the car or trying to write, he plays the fiddle with an Irish band called Port na Gael--see @portnagael on Facebook
