| Introduction | I am a freelance writer residing in Simcoe, Ontario. My work has appeared in a number of venues, including three Chicken Soup for the Soul anthologies (Christmas in Canada, My Very Good, Very Bad Dog, and The Spirit of Canada) and Small Farm Canada. Right now, I mostly write science fiction poetry and fiction. Stories and poems have appeared in New Myths, Outposts of Beyond, Scifaikuest, The Martian Wave, and a Dogs of War anthology, among others. I have self-published a collection of creative non-fiction and poetry entitled A Trail That Twines: Reflections on Life and Nature. While studying Sport History at Dalhousie University, I wrote the history of a tennis club in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, entitled St. George's Lawn Tennis Club: The First Hundred Years. |
