Here’s my final portfolio #VIU #vancouverislanduniversity #writing #finalproject #speculativefiction #experimentalfiction #writerslife

    • If you’re in the Victoria area join Ian Gibbs & me at Westshore Coles from 12-2 in Langford. Ian’s the author of ‘Victoria’s Most Haunted’ also published by TouchWood Editions. His book was released last spring while mine was in the fall. This is the first time we will be working together. Looking forward to meeting people, signing books, & answering questions. #langford #victoria #vancouverisland #hauntedeaster #booksigning #thehauntingofvancouverisland
