Ross, Marvin
Biography
Marvin Ross was born in Toronto and educated at the University of Toronto where he obtained both a BA and an MA.. For many years, he worked for the Ontario government to support his writing habit and spent a great deal of time visiting his in-laws in Hamilton. His wife was born and raised in Hamilton. In 1996, he was able to escape the drudgery of a 9-5 job, move to Dundas and write full time through his company, Bridgeross Communications. He is a very eclectic writer although he does tend to specialize in medical writing. He is the author of over 11 books (two of them on Hamilton) and his articles have appeared in major magazines, newspapers and websites in Canada and abroad. In addition to writing, he now publishes books including those of the noted Hamilton novelist, David Laing Dawson.
