I write about ordinary women in impossible situations. I’m the author of six novels – the contemporary fantasy series The Thin Veil, the medical thriller A Cure for Madness, and the historical fantasy series Revolutionary – with more to come.

​

I grew up in New Brunswick, on Canada’s east coast, where storytelling is less a hobby than a familial obligation. Here, I did my B.A. in Communication Studies and moonlighted as a speechwriter for the premier, where I once came alarmingly close to breaking up the country.

​

After university, I spent a summer working with refugees from Kosovo, then landed in Belfast, where I was schooled in the fine arts of drinking and swearing.

​

A graduate degree in global studies led to several years as an executive for non-profits in Toronto and Vancouver, which turned into my own fundraising copywriting company. Writing for charities and writing novels aren’t that different, really – it’s about making people care about someone they’ve never met.

I live in Calgary with my kids, a cat named Chaucer and more books than shelves.
