Draft for Book #3 is done!

A year writing in cafes, transit stations, and other strange spots. My first completely original plot (don’t worry, more adaptations rolling around in my head) and a labour of love.

November was a banger.

Double panels at Ever After in Toronto and moderating at SCPLLitfest in St. Catharine's, meeting lots of author friends old and new, and lovely chats with lovely readers.

No party like a book party 😉🥰

Always research before a trip...

So I read these amazing novels by @ragnarjo for my trip to Iceland.

Who needs a guidebook, when you have a whodunnit?

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ absolutely loved them. by @melodiewritesedwards

In the right head space to chat all things mysterious, twisted, thrilling, and murderous, at #SCPLLitFest

I'll be on stage interviewing Samantha M. Bailey, Eva Jurczyk, Elizabeth Renzetti, and Kate Hilton... well that's my alibi anyway...

It calls itself the Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows, so I wrapped it in a sweater to make it cozy and less sad.

This book has heart-wrenching new word creations, like...

MOLEDRO - a connection with an author you'll never meet, who can still leave morsels of their experience inside your head. (Jane Austen anyone?)
