I grew up in beautiful New Brunswick, on Canada's east coast. I did my B.A. in Communication Studies, during which time I also cut my teeth in the communications industry as a speechwriter for the premier (ask me about the time I almost broke up Canada).

After university, I spent an unforgettable summer working with refugees from Kosovo and then headed to Belfast, Northern Ireland, where I was schooled in the fine arts of drinking and swearing. 

I earned a graduate degree in global studies then spent a few years in the real world as a fundraising and marketing executive with non-profit organizations in Toronto and Vancouver. That morphed into my own copywriting agency, which I still run when I'm not writing novels in the wee hours of the morning.

I currently live in Calgary with my two teens and our cat, Chaucer. Come say hello on Facebook or Instagram!
