About this author

Author. Twitter-er. Slayer of vampires (only the ones that sparkle). I love reading, cooking, traveling and mixed martial arts. Dislikes include Wheel of Fortune and Ke$ha.

I live in a small, quiet town west of Toronto, and at the moment I'm writing and blogging full-time.

Vs. Reality by Blake Northcott
" An excellent book. The characters were good and the dialog was natural. The arc of the book is great in that you care what happens but the outcome was not obvious. A fun read indeed.
