Bewildering Stories biography

I am an award-winning former journalist and public relations executive and emerging fiction writer. By day, I manage an economic development organization for rural Northern British Columbia; by night, I attempt to craft fiction people will enjoy.

My published fiction includes the supernatural fish tale “Number Hunnerd,” which appeared in Tyche Books’s award-winning anthology Water: Selkies, Sirens and Sea Monsters, and the splatterpunk western horror short “Hands,” which appeared in Brigids Gate Press’s anthology Blood in the Soil, Terror on the Wind.

My first novella, Wolf at the Door, an absurd horror-comedy, was published in June 2022 by Birchwood Press. I am a member of the Horror Writers Association (HWA) and the Federation of B.C. Writers.
