A Body in the Sacristy

Alan Kemister is the pen name of a Halifax Nova Scotia based scientist experimenting with creative writing. He has a keen interest in environmental science and dabbled in yachting and golf before turning to fiction after retirement. He’s written a baker’s dozen of published short stories and one poem. Several of these stories appeared in two anthologies produced by Halifax’s Evergreen Writers Group: Out of the Mist: 22 Atlantic Canadian Ghost Stories released in 2014, and Off Highway: Journeys of Nova Scotia Writers, in 2017. A Body in the Sacristy is Alan’s first published novel. He’s currently working on additional adventures featuring Detective Goodyear and the fictional South Shore town of Barrettsport Nova Scotia. The second Barrettsport Mystery, Tilting at Windmills, should be finished soon.
