About The Author Stephen Roth Stephen Roth is a Canadian lawyer who resides in the charming and captivating city of Stratford, Ontario, Canada, home of the world-renowned Stratford Festival. Influenced and inspired by the numerous artists, writers and actors that have called Stratford home, including esteemed writer and past resident, Timothy Findley, Stephen used a COVID-19 slow down to switch from writing legal briefs to penning his first novel, Evolution's Magnum Opus. Stephen never imagined that he would discuss the tragic circumstances that brought him and his fellow elementary schoolmates to his teacher's cabin in London, Ontario during the early 80's. But a combination of age, developing wisdom and his own experiences as a lawyer, motivated Stephen to uncover buried memories and begin writing about those events. Stephen proudly incorporated the alluring and trendy aspects of his home town as a backdrop to his intensely personal novel. Whether it be Lake Victoria, the banks of the Avon River or the busy downtown patios of Pazzo Taverna and Fellini's Restaurant, Stephen believes that each and every reader will be drawn to visit Canada's best-kept secret. An avid baseball fan and player, Stephen recently toiled with the age fifty plus Canadian national baseball champions. If he is not playing baseball himself or writing his next novel, you will find Stephen with his wife, Michelle, watching their two children patrol baseball diamonds from Windsor to Ottawa and down to the beautiful state of Florida, USA.
