This writing became my first novel, "Alice, I Think", which was published by Thistledown Press in 2000. When I was twenty, until I got myself together and when I was about 26 I started writing, in the morning before work, first on the bus, then in a coffee shop.
That time in my life is the subject of my memoir, "Nice Recovery". Okay, that’s not true, but I did get seriously sidetracked. When I was a kid I wrote fiction but gave it up for a life of crime. Later, I did a master’s degree in publishing. After graduating I became an editor at a self-help/how-to book publishing company based in Vancouver. I had a brief and unsuccessful career as a fashion design student and, after I worked at a series of low paying jobs, such as server, record store employee, etc., I began a degree in English Literature at University of Toronto, which I finished at the University of British Columbia. I was raised in Smithers, BC, Canada and lived there until I moved to Toronto at age 20.
