I started writing because my school librarian asked if we knew any Canadian authors and I said I was one. She told me to come back when I was published. I was 10. Since then I have been published here and there, the librarian was at my first book launch in an anthology, and Red Island: A Novel is my first solo book.
I’ve moved across the country from Thunder Bay to PEI to Saskatchewan with even a month long stint in BC.
I am always writing whether it be in pen, on computer, or in the stacks of cardboard boxes hidden inside my head where stories and ideas are stored until they are ready to come out.
Oh yeah, I’m also a Chef, father, husband, and closet Glee fan.
When RCMP Sgt. Reid responds to a violent and savage murder scene he has no idea that somewhere else on the island a man has grown up just for this moment when Prince Edward Island would be known as the “Red Island” for an entirely different reason than the colour of the sand.
