There are few things more satisfying, as a writer, than having someone read your work and enjoy it. But one of those things is having someone read your work, and take the time to analyse it, pick it apart, and articulate specific things that struck them about the story.

Palahniuk and Imaginarium and Giveaways (Oh my!)
It’s been more than a while since I’ve updated this site — sorry! Lecturing full-time and trying to finish my new book means that some things — namely this here website and my addiction to social media — have been on hiatus.

And last night, I fell asleep at nanna-hour… and woke this morning to find out that…… Continue reading Aurealis Awards Shortlists!

2012: So good, I seriously hope I haven’t peaked.
There’s been a Pinterest image going around on Facebook lately, which shows a Mason jar filled with folded scraps of paper — and I think it came from this website originally. At any rate, the picture, and concept, has gone viral. It goes by various names: ‘jar of memories’, ‘jar of good thoughts’, ‘jar of…… Continue reading 2012: So good, I seriously hope I haven’t peaked.

Mega-Catchup Post, Part Two: Ottawa
After leaving the World Fantasy Convention, I headed up to Ottawa to spend a couple of weeks with my family and friends. The theme of the fortnight was visiting, visiting, visiting.
