I'm living in: Toronto
About Me:

I'm an incessant reader. I belong to several online book clubs, but my favourite one right now is dedicated to 19thcentury fiction so I always have a classic novel on the go. I'm a huge fan of short fiction, I make a point of reading a Canadian novel every two or three books and I've recently become a huge fan of mystery novels and thrillers. I would read all day if I could.

Knights of the Sea ~ A Grim Tale of Murder, Politics, and Spoon Addiction ~ My latest book is finally out. It's a bit hard to sum up in one line, though the sub-title gives a pretty good idea of the tone...

Not at all my usual fare, a horror-thriller apocalypse packed with great pacing and truly creepy tone. If you liked THE STAND - give this a shot. truly creepy tone.
