There’s life before you’re a published author, and life afterwards. I was worried that once the excitement of the Provenance Unknown launch had died down, I wouldn’t know what to do with myself. It’s partially true. With my second book, A Year of Summer, still with my test readers, I suddenly have time on myContinue reading “Transitions”

Departures and Arrivals
What better place to celebrate the launch of my debut novel than a much-needed, relaxing vacation to somewhere tropical. Now that I’m back, I can forget about all the stress and anxiety (MAJOR anxiety—did I mention anxiety?) leading up to it and focus on the wonderful memories I made. Plus, I can celebrate that whileContinue reading “Departures and Arrivals”
Spring Break and Other Distractions
It snowed last night. In Victoria, we usually get one dump every February—some bigger than others. After that, we know we’re in the clear and the daffodils will open soon. Luckily, this time we received only a skiff. Bring on the blooms. [Author’s note: it’s now March 8, and the daffodils are indeed ready toContinue reading “Spring Break and Other Distractions”
Le printemps arrive. (Spring is coming)
Let’s get right to it. There’s been a lot happening on the writing/publishing front for me over the past month. Spring is coming, and the year’s picking up speed. Here’s the recap: Book Launch Celebration Event Yes, that’s an unnecessarily long and awkward title. But while at first I thought you could only have oneContinue reading “Le printemps arrive.

Hit the Ground Running.
Start off with a bang. All the cliches for the New Year. It’s not what I was expecting at all. You know that feeling, when things are shifting around you, and you’re being pushed in a specific direction? Deep down it’s right—what you were meant to do. What you’ve always wanted. And it’s close, soContinue reading “Hit the Ground Running.”
Provenance Unknown – Available for Pre-Order!
Exciting news! (At least to me. Not only exciting, but a little terrifying too…) My debut novel, Provenance Unknown, is up on Goodreads and WorldCat, and available for pre-order on Barnes & Noble and Amazon (just in time for Prime Day). I’m assuming it will be coming soon to Coles/Chapters/Indigo as well — I’ll letContinue reading “Provenance Unknown – Available for Pre-Order!”
some things maybe
Another publication announcement! The pieces in Pinhole Poetry’s Issue 2 are beautiful and poignant.

It’s in excellent company. ☺️ Pinhole Poetry is a “digital poetry journal that loves the upside-down view and the fact that someContinue reading “some things maybe”

Page Break: The Starts and Stops of a Writer
I used to write — a lot. Where others imagined futures with hockey sticks or lab coats, I dreamed of letters. I didn’t see my name in lights but rather in print, neatly positioned in the bottom right corner of the cover of my novel(s) and anchoring a colourful illustration of a Montmartre cafe inContinue reading “Page Break: The Starts and Stops of a Writer”
