Excited to be part of the author team for BC #kidslitquiz tomorrow with @JeremyRTankard, @staxie, and @nvo_itsadraw. I hope quiz master @holman_wang goes easy on us! #canadianauthors #reading @kidslitquiz_ca
Hi, #MGBookChat! I'm an author (The Secret of Zoone is my latest) and creative writing teacher in Vancouver. As a kid, I was in a pilot program for creatively gifted students. I spent grades 4-6 in the same classroom with the same teacher.
I love receiving letters from readers, so I always have my creative writing students write them to their favorite authors. I tend to have no rules for this (except the author has to be alive). We always send the letters snail mail, always with wax embossing. 💌🖊️💌
A5) It would be the TriWizard Tournament from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire! But, if I get disqualified, I'll go to The Lemonade War. #MGBookChat
What? It's national chocolate day? I remember, fondly, working on The Chocolatier's Apprentice with @victorianunuk all those years ago. What a fun project! And we got a secret tour of @PurdysChocolate factory in Vancouver!
#MGBooktober Day 27: Well, I'm going to get completely selfish here and say that I'm looking forward to the paperback release of my latest book, The Secret of Zoone in January and then it's sequel The Guardians of Zoone in February!
Quote of the week for my teen writers: “Your writing experience is not the same as anyone else's. What another writer does to tell their story will not be your way . . . That means be true to your story and responsible to your readers.”

#MGBooktober Day 24: Don't ask me to pick ONE favorite illustrator! There are so many! @TonyDiTerlizzi @kelleymcmorris @skottieyoung @chrisriddell50
A4) In 2016, I had the privilege of being the official illustrator for the summer reading club in my province. It was a lot of fun to work with the team of librarians to develop the theme! #MGBookChat
@CWILLBC I always wanted to dine at Aslan's table in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (but only if Reepicheep could join me).
