Derek Lundy

Derek Lundy’s latest book, Borderlands: Riding the Edge of America is about his motorcycle ride along the U.S. borders with Mexico and Canada, and was recently shortlisted for the Hubert Evans Non-Fiction Prize.

He has degrees in history, international relations and law, and has held a wide variety of jobs—for example as a long-distance truck driver, factory worker, and museum guard, but was also for a while an executive editor at Butterworths Legal Publishers and a freelance contract lawyer. He has sailed almost all his life in small boats, including a passage around Cape Horn, and transatlantic in a square-rigger. He was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland and lives with his wife and daughter on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia
