Literary journey of an office career escapee
I am beyond happy to share that "The Accidental Cop" has won a silver medal in the 2025 Global Book Awards. It will always remain a very special book for me, no matter how many more I write. I am grateful for all the recognition it has received in the two years since it was... Continue Reading →
“The Accidental Cop” is a Category Winner in the 2025 Independent Author Awards. It feels especially gratifying that my cross-genre crime noir novel, with the setting unknown to most readers, has finally found its niche, winning in the “Social / Political Change” category in the 2025 Independent Author Awards. “The Accidental Cop” already won several...

Back in January, I had the honour of being featured on the Scribbler Blog, run by author Allan Hudson. It was a unique experience to be given a chance to share the story behind the story.

I was looking forward to the Page Chewing episode featuring two amazing authors from Canada, Anne M. Smith-Nochasak and A-M Mawhiney. I’ve read all their books, and I knew that what they’d share would be deep and insightful. I wasn’t disappointed in my expectations. On the show, they discuss things that interest me as an...

My son often asks me why I don’t have a channel on YouTube. And I ask him how many followers and views his favourite Minecraft bloggers have.
