I’m the author of the Rancour Chronicles, Flying Feet, Children of Ruin, The Three Spartans and Spartan at Sea.
I have written book reviews for CM magazine and have taught countless workshops for schools, school divisions, libraries, universities, BCLA, BCTELA, Writer’s Union, BC Writer’s Federation, Canadian Authors Association, Surrey International Writers Conference, BC Raise a Reader, and many after-school programs. From 2006 – 2009, I was the president of CWILL BC. I work in a library, helping to run a recording studio and assisting patrons with digital creative projects.
I grew up in the chilly plains of Manitoba, where I spent much of my teenage years reading comics and playing Dungeons and Dragons. Those hobbies helped me pick up storytelling skills I now use in writing and teaching.

Workshops with a Twist
Let’s roll some dice and play a tabletop role-playing game made especially for the classroom.
Your students will learn how to tell stories, craft worlds, and collaborate in the best way possible–by playing a game!
A Dungeon Master Exposed
If you haven’t heard of Dungeons & Dragons or TTRPGs, I may not be the kind of Dungeon Master you seek.
This blog and podcast chronicles my experiences playing Dungeons and Dragons, talks about mental health, and sometimes discusses writing.
My Novels
I write novels for teens and tweens. My stories include topics such as vampires, zombies, mixed martial arts, and historical parodies.
Pick a genre, amirite?
