Thanks for visiting! I’m a designer and writer, based in Vancouver, BC. This site is where I crow about my novel, Owe Nothing and my other works of fiction.
My mission is to write fiction that resonates, based upon some of the real events and people from my life in Vancouver. Currently, I do this through characters like Jack Owen and his family and friends. Jack’s stories combine adventure, humour, drama, with realistic characters who get caught in offbeat situations that test their limits. I invite you to read more about Owe Nothing and judge for yourself.
Most of my characters are based on real people I knew when my family lived in dodgy East Vancouver motels for over a year. Many of the Vancouver locations are thinly-veiled equivalents of real places.
You find more information about me and my writing in the menus at the top of any page.
In the blog, I tend to cover topics that are parallel to, or provide fuel for, my Vancouver fiction projects: inspiring people and their biographies, life in and current events in Vancouver, BC, working-class family and cultural issues, including poverty, mental health, substance abuse, and pop culture.
