Gary Kreller is a sometime musician/composer/writer/poet/blogger/grumpy Buddhist/just-in-time courier guy who likes to speak of himself in the third person. He is a past president of the Canadian Authors Association (Waterloo-Wellington) and a founding member of the one and only Black Forest Band. He sings in English, German, French, Spanish, Italian and Polish, none of which he understands very well. Gary currently lives in a leafy semi-suburb of Kitchener, Ontario with his partner, artist Penny Grace, and their dog, Mr. Bedlington Buddha III, who is a secret meditation master and an outstanding demonstration of the law of karma.
