My first published short story, 'A Murder at Carleton House,' was born from the excised opening scene of what became my first novel, The Nightshade Cabal.

When I kill a darling in my writing, I put it in a file called The Graveyard and every once in a while, I go grave robbing to create a new short story.
This is truly self-care.

Dandelion was so good. I was wrapped up in the familiar settings as much as I was in the storytelling and the characters. #Books #Reading #Fiction #LindsaysLibrary #ReadTheNorth #CanadaReads #BookSky

It's a tight race to 500. Bill Deverell has the lead, but Jonathan Whitelaw and Raye Anderson aren't far behind. Don't count Marcelle Dubé or Melissa Yi. There are so many great Canadian Mystery authors, and you can check them out at crimewriterscanada.com

Two weeks ago I was in a car accident. Rear-ended at a red light. Thank all the gods there were no injuries, but this week I'm told my car is being written off and the settlement likely won't be enough to put new wheels on the road.

Anyway. Buy my book?

Image shows the cover of The Nightshade Cabal against a chalkboard background with a light blue skull. Captions read: "Victorian Era Mayhem and Mystery, Thrilling Inventions, Reanimated Corpses, Found Family, Dueling Spellcasters, Canadian Setting, Surly Fae, and Award Nominated." The first page of The Nightshade Cabal. Text Reads: HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA, 1881 "I’m telling you, Jonathon, these so-called stage magicians are nothing more than charlatans and hucksters of the highest order.” Isaac Barrow said, raising his voice to be heard over the din of the crowded Theatre Royale. "The act is nothing but mirrors and wires and other trickery making you think you've seen something you haven’t.” Inspector Jonathon Eddings chuckled heartily, shaking his head. "And I keep telling you, Barrow, being fooled is the whole point of the bloody show!” Fifteen years in Halifax had done little to blunt the edge of his thick Mancunian brogue. His friend’s retort failed to quell Barrow's annoyance. The inspector's invitation had had all the cordiality of a press gang. Eddings had bought the tickets to thank Barrow for his help with a recent investigation. He hadn’t skimped, either; they sat just three rows back of the orchestra pit. The notion of putting down hard-earned coin with the express intention of being hoodwinked by some sham of a magician struck Barrow as inordinately foolish. He knew of the occult and the dangers of flirting with its deadly secrets. Real magic being his stock-in-trade, he considered the pretend variety, popular on stage, mildly offensive at best. It. was only on his friend's repeated insistence that he had finally, against his own better judgement, agreed to attend the performance.

Dear Canadian readers, since it has been asked once again, my publisher and I don't know why the 'Zon can't seem to keep the paperback edition of The Nightshade Cabal at a consistent (let alone reasonable) price.

Order via Chapters/Indigo instead!
