I’m the author of nine novels for young readers, including The Big Sting, Alice Fleck’s Recipes for Disaster, Clara Voyant and The Metro Dogs of Moscow. I was born in Edmonton and now live in Vancouver, and I have an MFA in Creative Writing from UBC. If I’m not writing, I’m most likely chasing an unruly toddler or an unruly dog around the forest (don’t worry, they’re both mine).

I love presenting to and chatting with young readers and writers, so if you’re interested in a virtual or in-person visit, please drop me a line!
