Jeff Pinkney

Jeff Pinkney likes to be out in a canoe or on his mountain bike on forest trails. He has met a few porcupines along the way. He is an amateur stone carver, having learned the art from a Cree elder who provided him with his first piece of soapstone. Jeff carved a bear cub. He also writes poetry and is a proud member of the Live Poets of Haliburton County. Soapstone Porcupine is the second novel in the Soapstone Signs series. The stories draw on Jeff’s experiences while living and traveling as a development consultant in Canada’s James Bay Frontier, where he acquired a deep appreciation for the people and the landscape. He knows firsthand what it’s like to be a little brother and a big brother too. Jeff is husband to Leslie and father to Maarika, Alexandra and Isabella.
