Latest Release

To Each This World
To Each This World

I went big in my latest science fiction standalone (my new aliens included) to explore what I find most intimate and precious about us. Community. Curiosity and imagination. Above all, the drive to understand what isn’t us at all.

Back to Marrowdell!

A Change of Place
A Change of Place

Jenn Nalynn. The truthseer, Bannan Larmensu. House toads galore and, of course, the return of Wisp, a most-opinionated dragon. Those you (and I) loved from A Turn of Light are back, with more wonder, wild magic, and surprises!

My September

  • It’s my favourite time of year. Still enjoying the warmth of summer each day, but night’s (in Ontario) now require a cosy blanket. Every possible food is bursting from farms and gardens–including ours–and nothing taste better than fresh picked. YUM! There’s a smidge of pressure. Make jam! Fill freezer! Be ready! But those are familiar, welcome tasks. For the first fall in a while I don’t have a book to launch. I plan to use that extra time wisely. Write things. Help family. See friends. Stargaze. Because next spring? Oh that’s going to be nice and busy.
