On October 7, 2025, Richmond Library (Brighouse branch) invited local authors to spend a few hours mingling with readers.

October 3–4, 2025, I’ll be on Salt Spring Island for the Paper Covers Rock festival. On the 4th (2:00–3:30pm) I’ll give my Sentences with Style workshop.

I helped organize a reading series! Words in the Burbs North Shore has its first run on Tuesday, September 16, 2025.

Hands down, it’s the most unusual book promotion I’ve done. Get in a small plane piloted by a horror writer, let a fan who’s never flown a plane before (gulp!) take the controls, and fly into the wild blue sky.

I’m honoured to have a personal essay in the summer 2025 issue of The Fiddlehead.

“Getting Unstuck” is the theme of a workshop I’m leading on Saturday, September 13, 2025 (9:30-11:30am), at the Write on Bowen Festival of Readers and Writers.

I’m thrilled to be doing a reading at the Harmony Arts Festival alongside other members of the North Shore Writers’ Association.

Writing a novel is hard but familiar work for me. Creating a conference? That’s a whole ‘nother thing.

The host of the Bookmarkable podcast, Fiona Jackson, read The Broken Places and invited me to be the first author on her show.

On May 15, 2025, at 7pm (Pacific), explore Writing the Breakout Novel by Donald Maass, my favourite book on the craft of writing.
