19 y/o Bryar discovers she’s immortal, needs a fortune to hide it, or be killed by ancient gods.

A mentor advises her to divorce rich men.

But when debaucherous dating weakens her dancing, Bryar must choose between money and safety, or true love and her ballet career.

A town around a harbour in pink (Vancouver); a lavender ring; a spill of silver slave rings on a mahogany surface; three ballerinas in tutus and pointe shoes, arms raised, on a dark wood floor; a blonde ballerina in leotard and tights crouched in pointe shoes, her back against a stone wall; a wooden staircase into a rainforested ravine; a stone building lit up at night (Kyteler's Inn, Kilkenny, Ireland).

My historical short fiction, North Vancouver, won 3rd in Vancouver's 2023 North Shore Writing Competition. The story's now on my website in case anyone's interested in a read.

I’m once again seeing writers telling other writers it’s okay to quote movies, books, and songs in their books as long as it’s short and credited, and 😬😬🫣

No. That’s not how that works at all. Not for commercial fiction.

How wonderful to wake up to another literary agent asking to read my full manuscript. Please cross your fingers that an agent loves THE UNWICKED WITCH enough to represent my writing career. Can't wait for you to meet Chloé, Alice & Finn.

Sweaty and red-faced from hiking up, up, up the Baden-Powell trail to Cabin Lake. Do you think we found the tree we planted at least thirty years ago? (See last photo.) Please comment below!

Woke this morning to hammering rain & its fresh scent wafting into our bedroom. Grateful for the last 2 of weeks of normal #Vancouver summer weather. Comfortable to walk to work, climb the ravine, or roam #NorthVancouver getting stuff done.
Back to #climate change heat by Friday.

Canada is burning. Again.

Governments acted super quick with Covid. Why can't the hammer come swiftly down now?

Why is capitalism allowed to destroy our planet's livability?
