Biography

I grew up in Florenceville-Bristol, whose legacy included French fries and potholes. A week after graduating from Carleton North High School, I enrolled in film school. I quickly found myself a published author at age 17, when I began my first fantasy series The King's Guard.



What do you consider to be the highlight of your career so far?

Career specific, at my first book signing, a little girl came up to me asked what it was about. I explained the plot and watched as her eyes got bigger and bigger until suddenly, she exclaimed she loved it, and insisted she pay for it – not her mom. The excitement on her face is something that'll stick with me forever.
