My obligatory B&N pre-order sale post! Promotion is live through today & tomorrow (code: PREORDER25), and if you haven't already read the first book in the action-packed duology (THE SHADOW ROAD), now would be a great time, as THE RAVENOUS SKY will be out in just three months!

In less than four months, THE RAVENOUS SKY will be out in the world. If you haven't yet read THE SHADOW ROAD (book one in the duology), I hope you'll consider giving it a try. I wrote these novels mainly for the 12-16 crowd, but that doesn't mean older teens and adults can't enjoy them, too. #kidlit

Just finished reading an ARC of SEED to close out the DARK WALKER series by @shellycampbell.bsky.social. What a wild and tension-filled ride! If you’re a fan of sci-fi horror with high stakes and deep characterization, don’t miss this trilogy! #horrorfiction

This is what the wildfire risk situation looks like here in Saskatchewan right now. There are currently 20 fires burning with more likely to come as the forecast is projecting unseasonably hot conditions. Really not looking forward to summer.

ARCs of THE RAVENOUS SKY have landed, and they look amazing! This is the second half of my dystopian YA fantasy duology that began with THE SHADOW ROAD. Hardcovers will hit the shelves on October 14, but if you enjoyed the first book and would like an advance copy of this one, please DM me! #kidlit

Six years ago today (my oh my how the time does fly!), my debut novel THE ABSENCE OF SPARROWS hit the shelves. I'm still very proud of it and I hope you'll check it out if you haven't already. It's a middle grade horror novel about a young birder and a plague that turns people to glass. #kidlit

February has been brutal. Thankfully, we'll be out of this by the weekend, though.

My mental health has been garbage lately so I haven't been around social media much to promote my book. Today marks three months since its release. If you've read it and enjoyed it, I hope you'll consider reviewing it on amazon/goodreads, and if you haven't, I hope you'll give it a try. #kidlit
