| Bio | I am a native of Canada’s East coast currently living in New Brunswick. My writing at this time focuses primarily on the YA genre and stories in which faith, personal struggle, and transformation are central themes. My first novel Voyage to the Rock is a YA mystery-adventure, which takes place in Newfoundland. I am currently working on a number of projects for a variety of age groups including some speculative fiction, children’s books, and a sequel to my first novel, tentatively entitled Voyage to the Emerald Isle. I also happen to be an Orthodox Christian priest in the final year of my Phd in Education. |
