The Amazon box with paperback copies of my fifth novel dropped on our front porch this afternoon.

My first political thriller set in the capital city of my new home country Canada. Who would have thought my love of storytelling would take me here. Not me.

The story idea began with the pandemic. The t Read more of this blog post »

I remember when I got The Bartimaeus Trilogy #1: The Amulet of Samarkand by Jonathan Stroud as a Christmas gift over a decade ago. I finished the whole thing in a matter of days and was then able to get my hands on The Golem’s Eye and Ptolemy’s Gate soon after. I loved them all so much (the last boo

I was waiting anxiously for this 3rd book to be released and it did not disappoint. A trip back to rescue more people from the Sanctuary included action, suspense and they rescue a tortured girl who becomes a central part of the story. I loved the internal turmoil that Caleb was dealing with Read more of this blog post »

There's romantic comedy and then there is madcap, billionaires with family drama rom-com. He picked up the shards of the pencil his father caused him to destroy, and an absurd idea took hold. An evil-genius idea.

As much as that set up signals what is coming, it also doesn't. Rom-com is not my usual Read more of this blog post »

After starting my day under a heavy blanket of imposter syndrome, my day drastically improved with some extremely positive feedback on my second book in The Relative Series, One Eleven.

When I was a kid, my hometown held a parade every year on Memorial Day weekend. Like most families, my parents and siblings would watch the parade in the morning and then plant flowers in family plots at the cemetery in the afternoon. A cookout with hot dogs and hamburgers would follow.

Right, so I love action movies. One of my favourite films of all time is Skull Island, which to this day has one of the coolest/most badass moments in cinematic history: James Conrad wearing a gas mask while swinging a katana. The Peter Jackson King Kong was great, too. But somehow I hadn’t actu

No, they don't like to think they're hearing or reading about themselves.

I love holding a real book. Kindle books are certainly less expensive and more convenient, but something is satisfying about paper. I recently received a copy of my first book, Fan Mail.

I wasn’t born in Wales, and I don’t speak the Celtic language of the people, but even as a child, fascinated by the story of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, I felt in me the spirit of the Welsh bard that propagated these tales and gave life to the legends.
