Welcome to my updated website. Bright colours, easy navigation, mostly new jokes. I’m about the same. Still chatty, over-caffeinated, and running late. Still bad at social media. Still as surprised by the world as I look in this old picture (my hair is gray and I have different glasses, but this may give the truest idea of me).

I just finished Autumn Bird And The Crow with super fellow writer (I'm not super - she is) Melanie Florence. Two points of view, two totally different characters. Hers is Indigenous and cool, mine is white and a dork. Kind of like the two of us. Some of the writing is darker than usual for me, but there are still plenty of goofy scenes. Expect to see it this summer.
Are you sitting down? You'd better be. Because this trailer will Blow You Away. (Seriously, it's pretty epic. Try not to giggle.)

I do not have a favorite child. Each of them makes me smile, drives me crazy, and fills me with pride and wonder. I couldn’t imagine life without any one of them. The same is true for my books. Here they are. Read about them. Check out what people say. Read an excerpt.
