I grew up in rural Ontario, Canada, but escaped to Tatooine, Middle Earth, and that barn in Charlotte's Web by the age of eight. I trained to work in museums, before taking up the pen as a journalist and a marketing communications writer. This love of the fantastical, the historical, and finding the root of a story fuels my need to create worlds of my own. 

Today, the tireless support of my wife, Natalie, keeps me chasing the dream of becoming a career author, while my autistic son William everyday teaches me the virtues of kindness and empathy.
