Story Sales!

My science fiction short story
“Third Life” will appear in Year’s Best Canadian Fantasy and Science Fiction Vol 2, edited by Stephen Kotowych.
This story is about the best of us. About love and life and the power of our choices. I’m very proud to see it in this amazing collection.

And I’ve sold a new story!
My fantasy, “Saving Week” went to On Spec, Canada’s fantastic genre magazine. It’s my take on the theme of a wizard’s final duel and comeuppances.

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.
