Welcome

I’m an author of books and stories for all ages.

In my youth, I wrote short stories occasionally and published in literary magazines. In middle age, I wrote books for young readers and won several awards, including the Canadian Library Association’s Young Adult Book Award and the Quebec Writers’ Federation Prize for Children’s and Young Adult Literature.

Recently, I’ve returned to short fiction for adults. My stories have been published in anthologies and journals across Canada, including The Fiddlehead, The New Quarterly, The Humber Literary Review, and many more. I write mostly literary fiction, with speculative and criminal preoccupations. I have stories in development with diverse publications, from the Queen’s Quarterly to Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine.

When not writing fiction, I write and edit reports for corporate clients, and I occasionally teach creative writing.

Since you found your way to my website, I’m guessing you’re a writer, too. Or a teacher? Librarian? Definitely a reader. I hope you read something you like on this site. Thanks for stopping by.
