Super Secret Project and New Science Series – Coming Soon

My last post here was 2020. Wow. That’s a while ago.

Why haven’t I been posting? Mostly it’s because I haven’t had much new to announce. Don’t get me wrong – I’ve been writing up a storm. Currently I have a new ‘super secret sci-fi’ in the works that has been sold and (hopefully) will be coming to book shelves early/mid 2026. It’s co-written, and details will be forthcoming in the future.

I’m excited. It’s a new direction for me and I can’t wait to reveal more.

What else is in the works? I have two more novels on submission and a handful of proposals in various stages of completion. What genres you might ask? Honestly, there’s a lot of them. Cozy-mystery, Sci-Fi, RomCom, Fantasy, Horror.

Which has made coming up with posts and blogs for this space really difficult – how do you keep an organic, cohesive theme going when you’re writing, well, everywhere and everything?

I think I’ve come up with a solution to keep the posts here fresh, relevant, and – most importantly – entertaining. Stay tuned.

Announcements will start coming fast and furious (the way publishing always seems to work), so how best to keep abreast? Sign up for my newsletter (also getting a resurrection along the lines of Kincaid Strange’s MO), keep an eye on this page.

For those of you that have kept reaching out wondering what’s next? The notes mean the world to me.

My new The Science of Series will be kicking off on Monday with The Science of Fantasy.

Small things in unprecedented times...

Well, we’ve certainly seen the world change over the past few weeks and, unless you live under a rock, chances are good your day to day life has also changed in what feels like little more than a blink of an eye.

We are in the middle of a pandemic the likes of which we haven’t seen in over 100 years and, hopefully, won’t see for another 100. Between the rampant acts of Hamsterkaufe occurring at grocery stores everywhere (the act of buying random things in a panic resembling a hamster madly stuffing its cheeks), and Canada’s TP gate (dudes, Canada MAKES the TP)… Well, my natural tendency is to grasp for the dark humour, sarcasm, and my own brand of facetiousness. But even those defense mechanisms ring hollow against the massive and very real changes we are seeing in each and everyone of our cities.

It’s a small thing, practically inconsequential under the shadow of worldwide quarantine - but I have audiocodes for Voodoo Shanghai. If you, or someone you know, would have their day brightened by a free audiobook (full disclosure- murder, mystery, zombies, and ghosts), please let me know or send them my way.

Keep safe. Don’t panic. Be kind to your neighbors. Help those who need it when/if you can spare it.

And, for the love of whatever God you fancy, please wash your hands.

Now, while the world temporarily turns upside down, time to try this living room yoga life with my trusty companion.

Voodoo Shanghai: Toronto Star Review

Voodoo Shanghai is out and the Toronto Star put out an incredibly flattering review today!

Thank you everyone who’s been picking up the book! FYI: For those of you waiting for the Audible edition, it will be out soon! Susannah Jones is back as Kincaid Strange!

Voodoo Shanghai

It’s been a crazy six months. The third book in a series is always hard, and Kincaid 3 is no exception. Huge kudos goes to my amazing editor Amanda Betts at Random House Canada for helping me drag this manuscript into a suitably ‘strange’ Kincaid state. We’re off to copy edit imminently and have a cover!
