The year is off to a wild start. Amid wildly fluctuating weather here in Calgary, the Ex’s blew our respective towns to head to Cabo for vacation. Much adventure was had, including a shit-ton of scuba diving and cocktail guzzling.

The highlight was taking a day trip to La Paz where we had the chance to swim with whale sharks. Amazing!

Can’t wait to get back out for more adventure, but in the meantime memories and photos will have to suffice.

Working away on a variety projects, just need to make more time to write!

Recent publications:

Noonday Demon

Next publications:

  • A flash piece titled “To the Bone” in Ghostlight Magazine (any time now!)
  • A short story titled “Yonder” in their upcoming Tyche Books Fascination anthology (August).
  • A short story titled “Aapoak” in a cool publication – details when permitted. (later this year)

What I’m working on:

  • Lots of other projects including a new Alberta Crime Anthology for TST, my Queen in Amber novel, and another issue of the Futility comic.
