My second novel, tentatively named “The Two Sisters”, deals with some aspects of mental illness and alcoholism, through the lives of two sisters, Connie and Rose.
Rose has a history of mental illness, as well as substance abuse issues, and when my main character, Jack (her nephew) encounters her for the first time, Rose is fairly heavily medicated and tied into a wheelchair so she doesn’t fall out. Rose is a long-term resident at Riverview Psychiatric Hospital, a slightly fictionalized version of the real hospital, which is located in Coquitlam, BC. . . . → Read More: Research: Photos and Feelings of Riverview Hospital

I enjoyed this article by Nilofar Ansher. It deals with the way new media and technology play a role in moving the control of opinion away from from critics and specialists and into the hands of consumers.
In fact, consumers are ever-more becoming producers. I think this is the real shift: the audience is not only listening, they’re talking back. . . . → Read More: Repost: It’s Still About Story Telling: Writing in the ePublishing Age

Are video book trailers a good idea? I actually debated this question while I pondered the progress of my online book marketing campaign. In retrospect, it seemed funny that I actually pondered this at all.
When I first envisioned the kinds of activities it would take to market a novel, I imagined things like press releases, printed . . . → Read More: Are Video Book Trailers a Good Idea?

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. . . . → Read More: Welcome

What’s the right price, relative to the cover price of the printed edition, or relative to the expectations of the eReader market?
This is something I must resolve for myself: when I publish “Owe Nothing” in eBook format (which I am going to do fairly soon), what is the best price? I’ve seen eBooks on sale for $0.00, . . . → Read More: How do you set a price for an eBook edition?

I tend to write the most and the best when the process is driven by a personal memory or feeling – something that might have been evoked by a unexpected sound or smell, or a memory triggered by that. Sometimes, a new perspective or pattern of thought evolves, which was brought on by a recurrence of events during the day. . . . → Read More: Writing as a Form of Cocoon…
