  • My Book Is Back!

    My Book Is Back!

    A few people may get lucky in the writing world. For most of us who look successful, good luck and bad luck whirl around in a sort of tango. In 2021, a small press called Lost Fox Publishing published my short story collection, Dream Signs. They were a nice team and presented the book with…

  • Book Review: The Phoenix Keeper by S. A. MacLean

    Book Review: The Phoenix Keeper by S. A. MacLean

    Plus a meal fit for a phoenix I was given an ARC of The Phoenix Keeper, and here’s my honest review, plus some recipes the characters might like. I loved this book. It was the perfect thing to read while recovering from illness, and the anxiety rep hit home. I was swept away into a world…

  • Book Review: Centauri’s Shadow by Ross Garner

    Book Review: Centauri’s Shadow by Ross Garner

    I was very excited when my colleague Ross Garner published his debut novel Centauri’s Shadow. It’s not every day that someone at work shows up with a thrilling space adventure, so I jumped at the chance to review it.

    My first novel, Chasing Harmony, has been out for a year now! It’s now available in ebook format as well as in paperback, which I’m excited about because it means more people can read it. It took 10 years for this strange, literary, bisexual YA coming-of-age story to find a publisher, and I’m grateful it…

  • Book Review: Kind of Coping by Maureen “Marzi” Wilson

    We all get anxious sometimes. But for some of us, anxiety can be intense or pervasive. I’ve been coming to terms lately with the role that anxiety plays in my life. It sounds great to be a relaxed person who doesn’t worry about much of anything…and these people exist, but I’m not one of them.  …

  • Book Review: Agony’s Lodestone by Laura Keating

    Laura Keating, a fellow student from the University of New Brunswick’s Renaissance College program, is both a lovely person and a stellar writer. I read some of her work during our student days, and both of us have since been doing our best in the literary trenches. She’s carved out a niche and a name…

  • Want to Write a Book? Tap Into Your Weird Obsessions

    What do you Google at 3 am? What’s that one odd thing you can’t stop thinking about, perhaps to the point where you have a hard time explaining to other people why it captivates you?  If you’ve ever dreamed of writing a book, one starting point is personal interest. Scratch that: personal passion, obsession, or…
