Sitting pride of place on my desk is my new print by Kate Leth. A recent acquisition from DCAF! I had a blast. #DartmouthComicArtsFestival #DCAF
A print of a colourful digital drawing with a severed hand holding a presumably human heart in its grip. The heart is red with blue veins and arteries. The hand is light skinned with long dark blue painted nails. Blood drips down the severed wrist. This print is framed in red frame and sits on a desk with red curtains and a rainbow flag in the background.

I have a short horror story published in this month’s Short Edition - Short Circuit magazine alongside some amazing writers. This story is also available in Short Edition dispensers located around the world. I will post a link to both in the comments.

Trigger warning: intrusive thoughts.
Yellow background with logo Short Edition at the top. Centred in the middle text says Short Circuit with a geometric linked lightning bolt design in red and white to the left.

Just in time to close out 2024!

My Cli-fi story, Taking Root, has officially been published with @onspecmag.bsky.social ! I’m especially pleased this story found a home in a Canadian magazine and in such great company!
Digital version available now and print upcoming in January.
Love that cover!
Illustrated cover of On Spec Magazine with medieval girl reading a book about dragons with a bow and arrow held in her other arm hanging at her side. She stands in the woods with a dragon with dragon fly wings perched on a tree staring at her and a crane peering out from the left hand side of the frame.

Me at a Dartspeak event earlier this year reading a few snippets of my work. This event was amazing and happens every month at The Dart Gallery in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.
