I am a writer living on the beautiful West Coast in Vancouver B.C. I write poetry, fiction and creative non-fiction.

Here you will find a few links to my writing projects. There are a couple of poetry publications and creative non-fiction pieces not included in this collection, as they were magazine publications of limited release and are not accessible online. I hope you enjoy exploring my work.
