Long ago, my grandmother used to spin the most fantastical bedtime tales, full of magic, mystery, and just the right amount of mischief (think dragons who misplace their fire and tiny little men with uncanny strength). Years later, I carried on the tradition with my son. When he was twelve, one story grew so big and wild it refused to stay a bedtime tale… so I wrote it down. That story became Kaylen’s Rising, the first book in my planned fantasy trilogy, Tomes of Taria.

I grew up in the small Acadian village of Grand-Barachois, New Brunswick. Back then, I never imagined I’d become an author though I was an avid reader. Since then, I’ve shared my own stories in classrooms, auditoriums, bookstores, and libraries, meeting hundreds of young readers whose imaginations are every bit as adventurous as my characters’.

When I’m not writing, you can find me geocaching, attempting to garden without the help of cave elves, or cheering on the Toronto Blue Jays (even when it hurts) and the Montreal Canadiens (Go Habs Go!).

If you love magical worlds, unlikely heroes, and the occasional troll encounter, grab a copy of Kaylen’s Rising and don’t forget to say hi on social media. I promise not to send trolls after you.
