Howard lives in Toronto, Canada. He received a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) degree in English ‎literature and theatre from York University and went on to attain a Bachelor of Education and ‎Master of Education from the University of Toronto. He started out as a high school teacher of ‎English and theatre and then moved on to a postsecondary institution as Dean of Finance and ‎Administration. Finally, he spent his last twenty-eight years as executive director of a not-for-profit ‎organization. He is presently retired and concentrating on his novels, short stories and poems.‎
Perhaps, Howard is best known for his quirky sense of humour and his ability to inflict bad ‎puns on all who are within listening distance.‎
