It’s festival season! On April 29, 2023, at 12:30 pm, as part of the North Shore Writers Festival, I’ll be chatting about the writing process.

It was not a typical Monday. I’d spent hours trying (and failing) to fix a computer problem. The morning was nearly over by the time I checked Twitter and email, only to learn…

It’s an honour to be one of the authors taking part in the 2023 Sidney Literary Festival, April 20–22, in beautiful Sidney by the Sea, Vancouver Island.

I thoroughly enjoyed chatting with Wayne Jones (mid-March 2023) for his Writing & Editing podcast series.

Why? Because she made it to Tucson but her books never did.

Thank you, Vancouver Island University, for inviting me to read in Nanaimo on February 16, 2023, as part of the Portfolio Reading Series.

On Saturday, January 28 (2:00–3:30 pm), I’ll be at the West Vancouver Memorial Library with author Cathalynn Labonté-Smith to discuss stories of disaster and rescue, both real and imagined.

I was on the ferry to Victoria when a writer messaged me to say congratulations on making the Globe 100 book list.

Victoria readers: get a jump on your holiday shopping, or just swing by and say hello.

I’m honoured to see The Broken Places in the 2022–2023 North Shore Authors Collection.

It was a pleasure to talk novel writing, plus share tips for staying the course, with aspiring NaNoWriMo authors on October 26, 2022.
