Windowseat Books (Nanaimo) is that bookstore we all want to visit. Friendly, curated, and eclectic, this cozy shop hosted an intimate launch on September 26, 2023, to celebrate Danial Neil’s latest novel, The Sum of One Man’s Pleasure.

I can’t wait to launch Uncontrolled Flight in Ottawa, my home for nearly 20 years before I moved west.

I sat down with Matt Bowes, General Manager of NeWest Press, to chat about my second novel (which was, spoiler, actually my first!) and the bittersweet pleasure of writing and reading about difficult characters and emotions.

Literary groups around British Columbia have joined forces to raise awareness and money to support those affected by this year’s devastating wildfires.

Vancouver-area friends and readers, you are warmly invited to the in-person launch of Uncontrolled Flight on September 28.

Please join me online on September 12, 2023, at 4pm PT / 7pm ET to celebrate the release of Uncontrolled Flight.

With so many novels published in Canada every season, and so many big books this fall, it’s an honour to see Uncontrolled Flight on some must-read lists.

Uncontrolled Flight is making its way onto store shelves.

On August 24, I had a lovely time discussing and reading from both of my novels on World Poetry Café, which airs weekly on Vancouver Co-op Radio.

It’s here! It’s here! More than a decade after I wrote the first scene about a firefighting pilot who watches his mentor crash, Uncontrolled Flight is between covers at last.
