Today’s the day!

Good Guys is on sale today in paperback, e-book, and audio book!

I’m so excited to have my second novel out in the world. It’s been such fun hearing from early readers on instagram and reading the excellent reviews. Over the last few days, friends who received special copies from me have confessed they’ve been sneaking stolen moments with the novel during their work days and staying up late into the night because they couldn’t put the book down. Great! The manuscript kept me up plenty of nights. Your turn now, readers.

The universe has jokes

Good Guys made She Does The City’s Most Anticipated Books of Early 2026 list! In it, they call my novel “an unputdownable thriller about the dark side of philanthropy.” Fun story about She Does The City…..

Good Guys

My second novel, Good Guys, publishes next month! Already advance review copies are making their way in the world, some bundled with a copy of The Boat People.* Publishers Weekly gave the novel a glowing review. Indigo named Good Guys one of their “Most Anticipated Books,” meaning you can pre-order from them for only $20. I’ve been invited to a couple of festivals and earlier today, I recorded a podcast interview. Slowly, surely, things are ramping up.

Write who you don’t know

The Canadian Press interviewed me about every blowhard’s favourite topic: authors writing outside their perspectives. How do we create characters whose identities (skin colour, class, sexuality, gender, disability) are different from our own? Is it possible to ace the job and should we even try?
