D. Grant Fitter is a citizen of North America. Born in Ontario, Canada and educated in Colorado, USA, he is convinced he was Mexican in his previous life. How else to explain such a strong attraction to all things Mexican, including his wife, Rita.
His business career includes long stints of work in Mexico City before yielding to a strong urge to pursue a livelihood in freelance journalism for seventeen years. Meanwhile, Fitter's Mexico roots continued to call.
The Vatican Must Go is his second novel set in Mexico. His first, City of Promises, which is also available on Amazon, takes place in 1940s Mexico City and Veracruz during the glorious years of Mexico's Golden Age. He likes to say you can't know Mexico until you know Veracruz and Mexico City.
Be sure to look for Fitter's third historical fiction novel to be released late this year. Silvia's Story is set in the time period after The Vatican Must Go and immediately prior to City of Promises.
D. Grant Fitter lives in Woodbridge, Ontario and whenever possible, in the Colonial Jewel of a town, Taxco, Guerrero.
But wait! That's the formal stuff. There's more!
I always knew I had a novel or two inside me, just clawing away, waiting to find a way out. I also knew it had to be about a love affair with the magic that is Mexico and its difficult-to-pin-down culture. It was not until I became an adult education teacher in the Upper Grand District School Board, it happened. Yes, I was also a teacher in Ontario, Canada, among other things, instructing a course in Creative Writing.
It was also where I spent a few years enjoying the most satisfying employment of my lifetime.
Most enduring though, was that through conversations with my students, City of Promises came together and the rest, as they say is historical fiction.
