COVER REVEAL TIME! I'm excited to unleash GOATS upon the world & can't wait for publication day. This one is truly a passion project & I've poured so much of my heart & soul into it. The story is not for everyone but I think that's why I love it🍄

After unexpected setbacks my web store’s live! You can now order my books/merch & get them shipped directly to you (in Canada).
Soft launch as Mark’s tried some new things for my site. If something’s giving you problems, let me know in the contact form!

When I write, I have comp titles and inspiration movies in mind. But it's fascinating seeing what other titles readers relate my books to. If you're wondering what GOATS is like, here's what my beta readers thought.

With pre-orders & ARC applications coming soon, I think it's time I warn you about GOATS. Some beta readers said the book was almost too gory😈 This psychedelic folk horror story is unlike anything I've ever written before.

I may have locked myself inside to stay warm and get ahead on my writing goals, but that doesn't mean I don't have big plans for the month. Newsletter subscribers get EVERYTHING this Thursday, but the rest of you will have to wait a little longer for freebies, cover reveals, and announcements😉

LAST author event of 2025 😭 I've got plenty of queer and spooky books all packed up and ready to go, along with a selection of Blind Date Bundles for The Book Purge. I don't typically attend Christmas Markets, but I couldn't say no to the Pride Christmas Market hosted by NG Pride🌈🎄See you tomorrow!

I’m excited to announce my books will be promoted on @smashwords.bsky.social as part of their End of Year Sale 2025 starting on December 8! Be sure to follow me for more updates and links to the promotion for my books and many more! #EoYSale25 #Smashwords

Tomorrow! There'll be some fantastic authors there & I'll also have plenty of Blind Date Purge bundles so there'll be something for everyone. It's a great chance to get yourself a gift or do some Xmas shopping for the book lover in your life.

Why do I even bother keeping anything on my desk when this dork acts like her main goal in life is to rearrange everything on said desk 🤦

This Saturday, November 8, come on out to Kichesippi Beer Co. to grab a book and a beer! I'll be there with some fabulous local authors from 1pm from 4pm. And even if you're not in the market for a new book (blasphemy!) come hang out!

When I went to visit my mom last night, she put an insane asylum sign on the door to the room where I sleep when I stay over (so I guess that’s what she thinks of me after reading all of my books 😂)

THIS IS NOT A DRILL 😱 The Book Purge just hit over 5k raised this year for the Ottawa Stray Cat Rescue.

I'm bringing The Book Purge to at least 4 more events this year, so let's see how much more we can raise for the cats 😻

Bakka Phoenix will be carrying a selection of my titles at their table at @canconsffh.bsky.social so I can focus on The Book Purge 😍 If you get one of my books and want it signed, bring it over to my table. I highly recommend checking out Bakka Phoenix as they always have an incredible selection.

I've got another fantastic @canconsffh.bsky.social to look forward to this year 🤩 Between panels, fundraising through The Book Purge, and a little bit of behind-the-scenes work I'll be keeping busy. Good thing I got myself that caffeine pass 😉

Me: wow I’m glad I wore red to my book signing - it’s really catching people’s attention!
Also me: * Has completely forgotten that my make up makes it look like I’m having a mental breakdown *

I am so excited to have The Ottawa Horror Club join the party! I joined in November of last year and I'm so glad I did. Jenna has brought together a wonderful community of horror fans & plans fun get-togethers each month.

Mermaid Tarot Reading came highly recommended. I'm excited to have a tarot reader at the party! I love incorporating tarot into my journaling practice, so I appreciate that she uses tarot as a practical tool for self-discovery.

@sah-studios.bsky.social is a new artist friend who makes queer, geeky, & spooky goodies! Keychains, pins, stickers... Oh, you want ghosts? Well, maybe you'll find something with a ghost-type Pokemon on it. Or even a lil Mothman 😍

If you've been to any of my launch parties/Bytowne Cinema markets, then you've already seen spooky art by Nomadic Designs. This tattoo artist has some gorgeous paintings for sale. Can't wait to see which ones she brings to the party😍Tickets: bytowne.ca

If you've seen any of the special metallic bookmarks at my table, then you already know all about Taz & Jason. But please try not to get too distracted by the shiny things - you don't want to miss the movie😉

No launch is complete without books - I'll have plenty of those at the party!
I'll have copies of Modern Hauntings (+matching book merch) but I'll also bring a few of my other titles & some Purge Blind Date Bundles!
