I’m the author of the Rancour Chronicles, Flying Feet, Children of Ruin, The Three Spartans and Spartan at Sea.

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.
