So I’m trying to get going on Twitter. Two weeks ago, I started to tweet every day, on books, writing and publishing. No one replied, retweeted or sent me a direct message but I did get a number of new followers. I forged on. I checked my Klout score (a rating of your “influence” on […]
I decided to update my book with a new cover – and a new title: Redeeming Dylan & Eric. I don’t think I hit the right note with my first approach. The new look is definitely working better! Here’s the updated synopsis: It’s 1999 and two alienated teens named Dylan and Eric abandon their plan […]
Interrupting Infamy is published! Check it out – here’s the synopsis: When tech-savvy Dylan lands his first job, his boss Larry steals his ideas and pretends they’re his.

Unknown writers, take heart: Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick was a flop when it first came out in 1851. The Globe and Mail recently noted that Melville wrote several popular novels in the 1840s; after these literary triumphs, he went on to write a number of books, but none of them achieved any kind of success.

I did not know Amanda Todd, but I will not forget her. Amanda suffered torment daily because of the online actions of a selfish, heartless pervert.
