This is the first of four excerpts from Displacement, which hits the shelves February 11, 2020. Come back next Saturday for more! *** The klaxon sounds and the yellow lights swing into life, rotating shadows around the concrete room. Thirty seconds. Less than three months ago, he’d received a curious late-night phone call. Was he […]
A Kind of Paralysis
I very nearly went with the picture above as my post today. This, despite knowing full well that I need to be writing and sharing more, especially as a way of advertising Displacement. Thing is, it’s scary letting a book go out into the world, especially when it hasn’t been read by many people yet. […]
Four Weeks, Second Books
Displacement—my second book, a stand-alone, queer YA sci-fi novel—comes out in just four weeks and I’m both excited and very nervous. You’ll often hear people say that second books are a lot harder than first ones, and for different reasons. On the one hand, you’ve got people with agents and “Big Five” publishers (Hachette, HarperCollins, […]
Displacement Gets a Cover and a Release Date!
Displacement is finally off to the advance readers, I’ve got galleys in hand, and it’s going to hit the proverbial shelves on Tuesday, February 11, 2020! I can’t wait for you all to read it, and I’ll have a pre-order link as soon as I can. Oh, and here’s the cover blurb: Something like normal: […]
New Story: “A Study in Pink and Gold”
I forgot to mention it on here! I have a new story over at Abyss & Apex called “A Study in Pink and Gold.” It’s a pretty quiet story about an artist—a little funny, a little sad—and features some of my favourite aliens I’ve written so far. I hope you like it! He sits on […]

New Blog Post At Into The Void
Because I promised I’d actually try to be good about updating things here when they happen: there’s a new blog post up at my blog, Into The Void: “It’s Not Okay to Say ‘It’s Okay to Be White’.” Go check it out. 🙂
A New Look
So I’ve decided to go for a new look for the site. The old one, if I’m being honest, was far too professional, and I didn’t want people to get the wrong idea. After a couple of abortive attempts (thanks for your input, friends), I’ve settled on the cartoonishly on-brand site you see here today. […]
Coming Soon: MOUSE in Paperback!
I’ve been waiting to share this with you all for a while, and I’m so glad it’s finally time! MOUSE is getting a paperback! The beautiful artwork for the front (and the back, which you’ll hopefully get to see soon) was done by Viera Boudreau. I’ll be back with more news as the release date […]
DISPLACEMENT — Coming 2019 from Prospective Press!
Jamie’s twin Alice died two years ago. But even the passage of time and a change of scenery hasn’t made it any easier. He can barely say her name out loud, let alone move on. Then he gets sick, too, and his sister Lizzie and best friend Jack start to worry that they’re about […]
