I teach at a college in Ontario, Canada. I'm married and have four kids, but I still manage to carve out a bit of time each night to work on my writing.

Writing Interests

In my view, an effective critique partner provides honest feedback and a new perspective. When there are inconsistencies or other problems, a critique partner should feel free to point them out. At the same time, if things are done well, encouragement from a critique partner can go a long ways. I also hope to find someone willing to discuss some of the feedback and share some ideas and solutions from time to time.

I'm currently working on a contemporary fiction novel. Past works have mainly been in scifi.

I'm not a big fan of YA works.

Genres I enjoy include contemporary fiction, historical fiction, science fiction, fantasy, mild horror, classics, etc.

Some of recent reads have been books by Michael Ondaatje, Richard Wagamese, Lynn Coady, Neil Gaiman…
