On graduating from medical school at Queen's Unversity in Kingston, Ontario, he set off for the South Pacific, his heart afire with the stories of Robinson Crusoe, Captain Cook and Mutiny on the Bounty.
Now an internationally recognized specialist in Paediatrics and Infectious Diseases, Pennie has worked as a medical practitioner, educator and researcher in Canada, the United States, St. Lucia, Brazil, Angola and Malaysia.
The Unforgiving Tides recounts his experiences as a young medical volunteer in Papua New Guinea where his romantic notions of the South Pacific are soon dashed.
Pennie's creative writing has won several prestigious awards. The author is currently a professor at McMaster University, Hamlton, and a practicing physician at Brant Community Health System at Brantford, Ontario.
