summer experiment
From attending book events to some new ideas in the works, it’s been a busy couple of weeks! I attended the Celebration of Emerging Writers event, which featured winners of the Nova Scotia Writes prize and mentors and mentees from the Alastair MacLeod program. A highlight was hearing my fellow writing workshopper Nadia Aumeerally read…

here’s hoping
After being a stop for the Stargun Messenger book tour, we’re back to this blog’s regularly-scheduled programming. Which I’m still working out! Usually I post writing updates and events here, but now that I’m offering an in-depth writing newsletter for my Ko-fi members, I want to make sure that there isn’t a lot of overlap…

Stargun Messenger Book Tour!
Welcome to the next stop on the book tour for Stargun Messenger by Darby Harn! I’ve loved this book ever since I read an advanced reader copy, and I’m grateful to Escapist Book Co. for giving me another chance to talk about this fast-paced, imaginative, and stellar (forgive the pun) space opera! Book Review “Sometimes,…

because i keep doing it
Maybe it’s the reinvigorating trend of spring, but all this sunshine and fresh air is motivating me to do things! Things like reading more books about the writing craft, taking more chances on submitting my work, and putting more time towards making art. There was a solid block of time there where it felt like…

time is such a weird thing
Thanks so much to everyone who came by to say hi at the Halifax Forum Flea Market yesterday! Had some great chats at my vendor table – it felt great to be out in the community with my books! I’m hoping to join more markets and events as we get into the summer, so stay…

lean times
It’s hard to write when things aren’t going great, isn’t it? Easier to say things are fine, I’m good, how are you? Not to say that things are bad at this moment in my life. It’s just…lean times. Lean times meaning I’m thinking about how I haven’t sold a book in over a month. Lean…

kind of thing I want to write
The past week has been a busy one! So much so that I haven’t been online or posting as much. But I’m back with some stories to tell! This past Friday was the deadline for the first draft of the Adventure Worlds Press novellas – well, it was more of a soft “if you get…

five years of the patch project
This week marks the five-year anniversary of the release of my first book, The Patch Project. Originally, it was published as part of an e-book program with print copies available on demand. I organized a local release party with a reading and some giveaways, and got to feel that glow of accomplishment and pride in…

Cover reveal, SFF reads, and writing updates
I finished reading an advance reader copy of Stargun Messenger by Darby Harn! It’s a thought-provoking high-speed space adventure in the vein of Samuel R. Delany and Bladerunner. I’ll be posting a more in-depth review closer to the May release date, but suffice it to say it was definitely worth the read! Speaking of Stargun…

reflecting, unplugging, writing
While waiting for spring and other new things, I’ve been reflecting, unplugging, and of course, writing. I submitted my novella for an open submission call! I thought I’d checked over all of my documents before sending them, but somehow, the title of the manuscript included my name – anonymous submissions were like the one thing…
