In the Author's Words :: I'm a Canadian urban fantasy and horror author. My work revolves around monsters, magic, mythology, and ayhem. I started writing in my early teens, and never stopped. I love building unique worlds filled with fun characters and intense action. I'm the recipient of April Moon Books Editor Award for "author voice, world-building and general bad-assery," and the One Book Two Standout Award in 2015 for my Cursed trilogy. I've been featured on various author blogs and publishing websites, and am an active member of the Writing GIAM and Weekend Writing Warrior communities.
When I'm not writing, I'm reading, watching movies, taking photos, gaming, and struggling with chocoholism and ice cream addiction.

Excerpt::
It was probably better that way. The Guardians were not
my friends. They were my keepers. They would lock me away as soon as they
could. They had told me as much.
I did not want to be controlled. I did not want to be stopped. I would take
what I could for as long as I could.

Any tips for aspiring writers? ::
If you're truly, deeply, honestly passionate about writing as a career, then just write. Take your story and tell it the way you want it to be told. Don't worry about how many people will buy it or what reviewers will say. Write deeply and from your heart. Give the story a soul. Worry about editing, polishing, promotions, etc later. The story comes first. The more you write, the better you will do.
