I'm from Nova Scotia, Canada, and I write speculative fiction (fantasy, sci-fi, horror), as well as poetry. I have been plying the trade for several years, periodically interrupted by those pesky events from life.
I have published independently and authored such books as the Saga of the Outer Islands series, the Killers and Demons series, Fairy Tale Fusion, and Ruined City. I've also had stories published in various anthologies, including Hell's Empire, A Twist of Fate, the Christmas Lites series and Mechanized Masterpieces from Xchyler Publishing.

And an added plus is the Victorian era setting, which I love to write about.(less)

An excellent and cozy read, full of folklore and supernatural fun. The format might not be for everyone, as it is essentially a three-part adventure, but I enjoyed it and everything is wrapped up with a satisfactory ending. A recommended read.
