So, I've somewhat abandoned Twitter/X. It feels like my posts don't get read, and my feed is full of random slush. But in case anyone is still out there from the writing/reading community, my new psychological thriller IF YOU LIE launches on November 1st.

Into the Darkness a feminist horror collection in which the dead won't stay buried, the living can't sleep, the universe hurts rather than comforts, and a reluctant heroine rises to meet the creatures of the night at the expense of herself will haunt you. #CSH #H #PitDark #A

I feed 80 street dogs every morning in Thailand and while they are all grateful one dog goes above and beyond in her appreciation. Her name is Snickers and every single day without fail she brings me a gift… (1/8) 🧵

Proud to rep my profession is this essay breaking down how social workers are portrayed less-accurately in the media!

By now you've probably seen the video. For days now, bullies in Ottawa have been spewing hate and harassing Canadians who don't agree with them. An Indigenous woman being called a Nazi. Staff being harassed. Journalists being yelled at. That’s the country Pierre Poilievre wants. Me? I believe everyone should feel safe walking our streets. I believe we need to stand up to bullies and shut down hate. Canadians believe in lifting each other up. Not tearing each other down. Stand with us.
