I am a writer and mother of four amazing kids. I was born and raised in Vancouver, did my undergrad in English literature at UBC, and have an MFA in creative writing. I am also a senior editor at The Darling Axe.
My published work includes poetry, short fiction, non-fiction, a picture book, and novels. Lately I’ve fallen in love with Germany—understandable, since my mother grew up there. My picture book, A Year of Borrowed Men, was nominated for several awards including the TD Canadian Children’s Literature award. My novel for teens, The House of One Thousand Eyes, was published in the Fall of 2018 with Annick Press. It won the Amy Mathers Teen Book Award and was named a Kirkus Best Book of 2018. My newest novel, My Long List of Impossible Things (Annick Press), will be out in 2020.
