What advice do you have for authors?
It’s under the for writers menu up the top of this page.

How did you start writing?
I’ve always made up stories. Always hoarded notebooks. Always been a big reader. Then around 2007 I decided to try writing a book. I did and it sucked. I had a lot to learn. So I went to writing classes and joined a critique group and read a lot of books. Both ones in the Romance genre and about the craft of writing. It wasn’t easy and it took a while, but I got there in the end. If you’re a writer, best of luck to you on your writing journey.

Some of those craft books were “On Writing” by Stephen King, “Universal Fantasy” by Theodora Taylor, “Story” by Robert McKee, “Bird by Bird” by Anne Lamott.

Can you critique my work/read my book?
I can’t, sorry. I need to focus on my own writing so I can keep paying the bills.

What charities do you support?
The Indigenous Literacy Foundation, Medicins Sans Frontieres, and the World Wildlife Foundation.
