Books & Writing

My first book of short stories, Squishy, was published in 2008 by a small literary press in Montreal (DC Books). You can click on some of the reviews here. You can order it from the usual suspects or go to your bookstore and ask them to order it for you. It is  also available as an audiobook (published by Iambik Audio). A great way to kill 4 hours in my humble opinion.

My first novel, Waiting for the Man, is currently sitting on the desks of a few publishers. As impatient as I am, I have to wait for them to read it. My hope is they like what I’ve tried to do.

I also write what I call “twisters” on Twitter, 140-character short stories. I’ve written a lot of them. You can search my twisters by keyword here. A lot of media have written about my little Twitter obsession and you can read their take on what I’m doing here. And, finally, a fine filmmaker from Toronto, James Cooper, made a film, Life, based on one of my Twisters, and submitted it to the Filmminute Film Festival, where it won the People’s Choice Award. You can see it here.

I’ve published short stories in many places and some of them are even on line. Here’s one (an excerpt from my novel) and another.

If you want to comment on my stuff, feel free to do so. Even if you hate it. I don’t take too much personally.
