The Finding Place, my novel for young adults, is published by Red Deer Press and available in Canada and in The States. The Finding Place tells the story of an international adoptee, Kelly, compelled by circumstance to return to China in search of her roots. It’s an adventure story, and one that reflects the difficult growing up experiences of so many of us. You can read more about The Finding Place here

My latest book is a poetry collection called Deboning a Dragon. The collection explores the journeys we take: towards adulthood, away from pain, across the globe, into parenthood and in search of self.  My plays for young audiences have been performed across Canada and in the UK and my work has appeared in journals such as CV2, The Antigonish Review, Event Magazine and The Toronto Quarterly.  Current projects include a novel for middle grade readers about a mysterious 18,000 year old egg that hatches at the Toronto Zoo.
