Who am I to give you advice?
It’s a good question. Everyone and their dog can give creative writing advice. It’s up to you if you want to take it. So, here’s a bit about myself and the projects I’m currently working on to give you an idea of who the fuck I am.
I may very well be another rando giving advice, but I love discussing creative writing and helping people out of a block. The workshops and blogs contain tips and tricks that have helped me over my 20 years of writing, and maybe they will help you too.
I went the University of the Fraser Valley for creative writing and graduated on the Dean’s list. I worked as a journalist for three years writing everything from restaurant reviews to local beat news. A few of my short stories have been published in Louden Singletree and Urban Affair, with a couple winning local awards.
Current Project:
Immortal Zero: The Seven Stones – 2020 Version
Labelled a traitor, General Almadzi narrowly escapes an assassination attempt is now hunted and forced into hiding with the aid of a master thief. General Almadzi’s survival depends on retrieving a stolen black diamond and saving the world.
In 2019 the Immortal Zero series was picked up by a publisher and while the older version is still considered an original part of the series, we are anticipating the official launch for the rewrite in the Fall 2020.
This sci-fi series consists of four books and a prequel, and is one of the few series in the genre that also incorporates magic.
Published Work:
The Seven Stones – 2012 Version
In 2012 the first version of The Seven Stones was released on digital platforms, but was never print published as I had self-published. As as student, I did not have the funding to print it, so it remained untouched for years and was never formally printed or distributed.
The Law of Soil
Three survivors retell their experience of the Chernobyl incident. As their lives are woven together by fate, we learn that nothing is ever lost or forgotten.
The Law of Soil is an intimate look at the Chernobyl Incidence from 1986. I interviewed three survivors for their experience. This novel went to print in 2017 and was distributed online as well.
