My short and long crime fiction has
won Canadian crime fiction awards and been a finalist for the UK’s CWA
Debut Dagger as well as twice nominated for the Prix Aurora Award for
Canadian Science Fiction and Fantasy.  My
decades serving on fiction and non-fiction juries across North America
have further honed my understanding of story structure and the
importance of style/voice in creating outstanding fiction. I’ve
mentored beginning crime writers for 15 years, edited for five years,
and have seen stories I worked on shortlisted and winning the Crime Writers of Canada Award of Excellence.
