About the Author

I grew up in Borden, Ontario, Canada on a military base. It wasn’t until I was in junior high school that I discovered my interest in writing. I claimed first prize in a high school writing contest two years in a row and began to write novellas, short stories and poetry. After starting my studies at the Faculty of Education at the University of Alberta, I attempted to write a script and novel for Star Trek: the Next Generation. A Star Trek: Deep Space Nine script followed in 1993, and after submitting the novelization for the script to an agent in Florida, the novel is currently under consideration for publication with Pocket Books. Currently, I am a full-time journalist at the Cold Lake Sun in Cold Lake, Alberta and continue to write.
