Welcome to the New Pad!!!

Hey people!

If you’ve arrived here from my previous website, thanks for switching over! If this is your first time looking me up, welcome! I’m pretty stoked to unveil this shiny new place for me and my work, to the point that I have no idea what else to say besides, “Oooooh, look at this thing and that thing!”

Okay, focus time. As you can probably tell / likely already know, I’m an Ottawa-based author of science fiction and fantasy who wears MANY hats. It still feels unreal that I’ve been at this Writer thing for ten years. That sounds like forever, and admittedly in that time I’ve written and sold short stories, non-fiction, a comic, and some games writing, plus launched a podcast, spoken at events, and more. (I get tired thinking about it sometimes.) But I love it, and I’m excited for you to explore what I’ve done, and hopefully stick around to see what I release next.

This site will exclusively be used for updates and links to new work. If you’ve enjoyed my madcap rambling on my old blog, I’ll be doing more of that with my (very) occasional newsletter, where I plan to talk productivity, the weirdness of Writer Land, balancing many hats, and more. Plus there will be giveaways and shout-outs to other cool creatives there! Following this site or the newsletter will keep you up to speed on me and my work, either way.

And last but certainly not least, a massive thank you to my friend Cortni Fernandez, who put this site together for me. Check out her other recent creation, Write as Rain, a lovely word count tracker I like to use.

Take care, and stay hopeful!
