To send an e-mail, just to say "Hi" or to order your own personal copy of No-Badge Killick, please fill out the e-mail form on the right. Send me a message indicating how many copies of the book you would like and your mailing address. I will then e-mail you an invoice.

If you would let me know how you heard about the book, I would appreciate you telling me that as well.

Using a link on the e-mail invoice, customers are able to complete the transaction securely with a credit or debit card on-line. I use Square to process purchases which makes it simple and secure. Square handles the transaction so I never see your credit card number.

Alternatively you can use PayPal - my account is connected to my e-mail address at gfh@sasktel.net or if you prefer to pay by cheque, let me know and I will e-mail my address, and then you can simply send me a cheque in the mail. You are not charged a fee — no matter how you pay.

I realize that the process is a touch more complicated than buying from an on-line bookseller like Amazon -- but not much. And, as an independent publisher, I am, for the most part, forced to handle my own distribution.

In any case I will send you a detailed e-mail with instructions as to how to exercise your options.

The cost of the book is $20.00 but I pay the cost of shipping.

Your order will be processed as soon as I receive payment.

About Me










They weren't just hull numbers. 
For a while when we were young men 
they were our addresses, our home


 Hanging with the Scouts in Sweden

I sailed with Bob Bushie on the Restigouche in the mid-60's. When we were serving in the NATO squadron we visited, among other places, Malmo Sweden. One of the Sonar Petty Officers was a scout leader back in Halifax. He contacted scouts in Sweden and as a result a few of us went camping courtesy of the scouts. Bob sent me a clipping with this photo. Bob and I are walking side by side in the front in the photo.



A whole lot of us got tattoos on Barrington Street. Macleans Magazine captured it on one of their covers. They weren't the only one to capitalize on the popularity of the Navy

After my very successful book launch in Bushwakker's Arizona Room in July 2018, I was pleased to be one of local authors featured in a corner of my favorite pubRegina's Bushwakker Brew Pub Writer's Corner. 
It is a real honour be recognized and to share this space with a host of other Saskatchewan writers.

  1. Just finished No Badge Killick and thoroughly enjoyed it. Gord has a clean, clear way of writing that brings the incidents to life with clear understanding. Good use of humor, drama, and just enough technical to allow one to see the events, this book will entertain those with military experience as well as give civilians a glimpse Ias to what it takes to commit yourself to your country.
    Gord, thanks for your service and thanks for your book.
