I live in Vancouver, B.C. My first novel, Indigo Springs, won the Sunburst Award for Canadian Literature of the Fantastic. The sequel, Blue Magic, was released as a trade paperback and e-book on April 10, 2011.
I am passionate about environmentalism, food and drink, and art in every form. I dabble in several: photography, choral music, theater, dance, cooking and crafts. Desire fascinates me, and I often write about the cost of love.
Within this page are blog entries–I mirror my blog to Livejournal, if you prefer the ambiance there–publication announcements, occasional contests, links to short stories and articles, and information on my latest UCLA Extension Writers’ Program courses and my one-on-one mentoring program. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, drop me a line. I’m only too happy to help.
I am a proud client of the Linn Prentis Literary Agency.








Hi Alyx
Just wanted to let you know that your website has been compromised. I couldn’t find a link to your webmaster, but you should advise them that the site has been blocked by Avast due to a Trojan virus. Thanks!

Hi, Jan. Thank you for the heads-up. It should all be fixed now, finally, thanks to the folks at Sucuri (http://sucuri.net/) who had me sorted out in 12 hours. (After months of failed DIY and frustrated e-mails with my site host, this IS a Sucuri endorsement.)
Hello,
I really enjoyed Indigo Springs. Love to see something that’s off the beaten path and still engrossing and entertaining!
