My work has appeared in anthologies like She’s Shameless from Tightrope Books (Toronto), Teen Angst Poetry from St. Martin’s Press (New York), Wolf-Girls from Hic Dragones Press (Manchester UK), and When Birds Are Near from Cornell University Press (Ithaca NY). My first novel was a modern fairy tale entitled The Tattooed Wolf, and in 2008, I received a Canada Council Grant to complete my murder mystery novel, Bucket of Blood.
Currently, I’m working on the Circus Salmagundi Mysteries series, which begins with Truly the Devil’s Work. In addition to learning about life in the Pacific Northwest during the 1920s, this project demands that I delve into circus history, which is frankly awesome.
The three newest books in the Circus Salmagundi series are now available. For more information, visit The Circus Salmagundi Mysteries.

"Life is full of endless perils. In any given universe on any given day, you have a better chance of dying than of living." His grin was serpentine, his mirth carried a certain sinister quality. "How lucky we are, to all be here at the same time, at the same place together. The odds against it are astronomical."
- Mr. Blackwood, Love and Lovecraft
