It's the end of Canadian Children's Book Week, so I think it's only fitting that this should be the day to share two really big book news things! The first is that we're now in the final stretch leading up to the launch of book 2 (Mirror of Wolves) and the pre-order price...
I'm in the home stretch to the Mirror of Wolves (book 2) launch. It's a stressful time, but instead of getting all anxious, I've decided to have some fun with a cover and title reveal countdown for book 3! If you're following along on my Instagram page, we've had two peeks...
March in Ottawa, where I live, should be a melty kind of month where the temperatures steadily increase. This year, we just keep getting more snow, which is really starting to weigh on me. I'm done with winter and I want it to just go away now. This has also, apparently,...
I was commiserating with a couple of other middle grade authors recently about the whole "sequel anxiety" thing, wherein we must learn to deal with the overwhelming sense of dread about sequel releases. The countdown-to-launch period is stressful with any book release, but...

I am SO excited to announce that the revamped website is now live! As mentioned before, some parts of the site will look familiar from the old version, while some parts—like the dedicated page for the entire Arcanium Saga—are brand new. There are also a lot of little added...
The Ottawa Public Library posted something on their Twitter feed today that made me laugh. They asked whether the twist in a book was more shocking or the realization that you'd been mispronouncing the characters' names all along. And there's kind of a funny...
Well, it's almost 7:30 on a Sunday night and, while I should have spent the weekend working on the next book, I have instead spent both days working furiously away on website updates. And I kind of feel like my eyeballs are about to fall out from staring at the screen so...
I am still chugging along with the writing and editing stuff instead of the reading stuff, so I’ve only got a few books for the recap for January. But that does give me some extra space to say how hugely excited I am about the cover for book 3 of The Arcanium Saga. I just...
