Amphibian was published in Canada by Coach House Books in April 2009, and is forthcoming from btb Verlag Random House in German translation.
My work has appeared in various publications, including the Globe and Mail, The National Post, The New Brunswick Reader, University Affairs Magazine and heard on CBC Radio.
I live in New Brunswick, Canada with my partner, two boys and four furry creatures. With the support of creation grants from Canada Council for the Arts and Arts New Brunswick I'm working on my second novel, Nuts. I'm also tackling a nonfiction book for 9-12 year olds about animal personalities.
I'm represented by Swayze Literary Agency, White Rock, B.C.
