I first fell in love with monsters as a child. A few years later when most young girls were hooked on Judy Blume novels and the Sweet Valley High series, I was reading Stephen King, Clive Barker and Dean Koontz. Horror, it seems, had found a home in my heart.

At the time, I lamented about how few genre stories were aimed at teens. Of course, this isn’t the case any longer. These days, bookstore shelves are practically overflowing with all sorts of frightening and fantastic tales for young adult readers. Still, that doesn’t stop me from wanting to tell my own stories, and BLEEDER is just one of them.

I live in Toronto, Canada, where I work as Managing Editor of RUE MORGUE magazine. Back in 2002, I co-authored a poetry book titled SOME WORDS SPOKEN (with Cynthia Gould).

I am currently hard at work on THE COLD ONES trilogy, which takes place in the same world as BLEEDER and features a monster unlike any you have ever seen.

BLEEDER's been getting a whole bunch of publicity lately. If you found your way here from one of those news stories, I thank you.

You can check out the BLEEDER interviews (some text, some audio) at http://www.bleederbook.com/?page_id=969 - in case you want to find out more about me, the story or the writing process behind it. I'm pretty candid, even about my mistakes. ;)

And if YOU have any questions, feel free to leave them in the comments section on my Wattpad profile or on any BLEEDER chapter. I'm always thrilled to gab about the book, or writing in general. What can I say, my brain is here for the picking.

The wait is over! Got BLEEDER Chapter 16 up way early this morning, since you've all been so patient the last couple of weeks. Hope you enjoy it (it's a bit of an emotional roller coaster).

Bleeder Chapter 15 just went live. This marks roughly the halfway point of the novel, and I want to take a moment to personally thank each and every one of you who has fanned me, read along, added the story to your library and/or left comments. Some days you are the fuel that keeps me going.

There will not be a new chapter next Monday (so sorry!), as I'll be at the Calgary Comic Expo all next weekend, but Bleeder will be back on Monday, May 7 for the brand new installment in the saga of Mills, Keel and the Nosferatu.

Happy reading!

Bleeder Chapter 11 is live! Sorry for the slight posting delay, the chapter art didn't roll in until quite late last night. Hope it's worth the wait!

Thanks for bearing with us during last weekend's posting break. The convention was a ton of fun, it was totally inspiring meeting some honest to goodness fans of this serial and I handed out about 250 Bleeder cards. 

So hello, new readers! I hope you make yourselves right at home. 

Anyways, Chapter 10 went live last night and features more Mills and Keel. I really hope you dig it. I can't begin to tell you how much fun these two are to write.

BLEEDER Chapter 9 is live. I'm very excited to introduce you all to Keel. 

Please note, since I'll be promoting BLEEDER at a convention here in Toronto  next weekend, there'll be no new chapter posted. We will, however, be back with the next installment in Mills' saga on Sunday, March 18.

BLEEDER Chapter 8 hits the web, bringing us to the end of part one of the story. Thank you to each and every one of you who has tuned into the serial over the last two months.

Next week: new character, new intrigue and finally a chance for Mills to start to turn the tables on her captors.

Loving the story.  Thanks for making the vampires scary s.o.b.'s and not all sparkly.

We thank you for your patience during our short hiatus, now BLEEDER is back with Chapter 7: TRUTH OR DARE. Join us, as Mills adjusts to life in captivity... or rather, doesn't.

Enjoying BLEEDER? Drop by Wattpad.com and tell us what you think!
