Hello, Readers!

Thanks for pausing on this page long enough scan the greeting - and the first sentence - of my bio. If you keep reading I promise you'll learn a little bit about my life and a LOT about my work.

I love books. I read and write a whole bunch, then I publish the stories I like the most - after designing their prints/eBooks/covers.

Once upon a time I taught Performing Arts and Inclusive Education which gave me the experience and skills to start my own book business. Outside of the office I paint, hike, cook, bake, hurl expletives into the cold Canadian wind as it whips past my home in the foothills of the Western Rockies, and knit. Sometimes, if the mood is right, I nod at my husband during one of the rare moments we cross paths.

Just kidding. We frequently cross paths and, when we do, we high five.

Since 2022 I've published three novels, two short story collections, and five flash fictions that are both horrifying and hopeful. I currently release short fiction on Substack, every week. 
Next year I plan to publish the final novel in The Canuckia Series -

- but my third dystopian collection, Why'd You Stop? releases this October!

If you like my work, check it out.
