I have always been a reader, that kid that would stay up reading long past my bedtime huddled under the covers with a book. But, I didn’t start writing until a grade 7 Language Arts assignment. We were given a one page chapter and asked to write nine more to finish the story. As soon as I put pen to paper, I was hooked. My love of books led me to a degree in highfalutin English Lit, but my heart will always belong to the YA genre. My home is lined with bookshelves, some dedicated to literary novels and classics, other completely over flowing with young adult books ranging from The Babysitters Club all the way up to The Hunger Games.

Canadian to the core, I love having for four distinct seasons. Even if I do spend half the year cursing the icy winds crystallizing my lungs, I would never give it up for year round heat. Fluffy, floaty flakes. Crusts of frozen snow breaking under foot. The slow shift of leaves from green to red to yellow. Skipping through puddles in spring. The slapping of flip flops against feet. These moments will show up across the stories I write, but I have a habit of setting things from September to November. Autumn is my favourite season, and Halloween is my all time, without question, favourite holiday. I sometimes have to convince myself that drama can happen as easily in June as it can in October.

I also spell like a Canadian; so, embrace the wayward ‘u’ and ‘re’ and the use of the oxford comma, and we will get along famously.

The bare bones of every story in the world has already been told, so things like plot, grammar and character development matter. I try to keep this concept in mind when I’m writing. How do I take this idea and make it my own? I write for myself, I have too many people in my head not to get them down on paper, but I hope that I write things that people will want to read. That someone out there can take my stories and get lost in them the same way I get lost in the characters when I’m writing them.

Going Through the Motions was a pretty good book...:) There was a nice touch of both mystery and romance, and the characters were interesting. I just don't get why you did what you did with the ending. it was sad. :(

'Going Through Motions' is truly an exceptional book. I love every moment of it and I can't wait to find out who the damn mysterious killer is!! You really have to get this published!!!! Because I know for sure that if I saw this in a library or book store I would definitely buy/burrow it out! :OO I can't wait for more! And I'm definitely going to tell all my friends and fans about this!!

Your book 'Desperately Waiting' should be made into a movie.

Absolutely no problem at all. =) I also need to thank you. Since December, I've been writing a fan fiction that involves boy/girl twins. It's completely different to Going Through The Motions, and yet there were little things here and there that reminded me of my own characters. 

I've had writer's block on my story for over a month. But after reading yours yesterday, I opened up my latest chapter and got almost half of it done. So thank you for inspiring me and re-energizing me. I'm hoping to check out more of your works when I get the time (hopefully come the weekend).

Wow.... I just finished reading Going Through The Motions. I can't believe I couldn't put it down until I finished reading it. Yes, it is currently 3am in the morning for me, and I started reading your story at 9.30pm. It was just so wonderfully written. I was wondering if there would be a sequel?
