About Me

My stories are about people buffeted by forces, inside and out, real or extraordinary, that they don’t fully understand—sometimes they stay, sometimes they run, sometimes they burn it all down.

The writing is compressed, quietly sad, and preoccupied with mortality, impermanence, and the moments we can’t control.

Right now I’m working small—tanka poetry, micro fiction—where every word has to earn its place.

What I publish on the website

Stories & Poetry — New work published regularly. Paid subscribers ($3, $5, or $7/month) get access to everything. If the writing speaks to you, this is the most direct way to support it.

The Monthly Letter — A free monthly update on what I’m writing, how it’s going, and what’s next.

Background

I taught screenwriting at the University of Regina for over a decade and served as Writer in Residence at Regina Public Library in 2019–2020. I’m also the co-author of the internationally award-winning Shepherd & Wolfe mystery series with Angie Counios—we’re finishing the fifth and final book now.
