The second offering of Words in the Burbs North Shore takes place Thursday, May 7, 2026, 6:30-8:30, at Delany’s in Edgemont Village (North Van).

On March 26, 2026, I read alongside Capilano University faculty and students at CapU’s Open Text event.

I’m doing an author talk and reading while visiting Cape Breton. Drop in on Thursday, April 16, 2026, 6:30-7:30pm, McConnell Library in Sydney.

The only thing better than a chat about writing? A chat by the fire with friend, neighbour, and soon-to-be published book author Wiley Wei-Chiun Ho.

Local authors, me included, will be on hand for tea, treats, and tales at the Log Cabin Museum in Saanichton, Nov 23, 2025.

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.
