BIOGRAPHY
I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. - Pablo Neruda.

I grew up Italian in the Niagara Region and attended Notre Dame High School, and then Brock University. In 1999, I moved to Ottawa to pursue work and have worked for two major Ottawa area magazines. Being the shy kid in school, I created stories in my head, and when my Grade 9 English teacher awarded one of my short stories an A +, I knew that I would one day write a novel.

My work appears in various anthologies including Steering 23 Publications, Storytime for Grownups, and Beyond the Levee. In October of 2022, “Revived” was chosen as “Horror Book of the Year” by the “Feed My Reads” community.

When I'm not writing, I'm experimenting in the kitchen, reading, watching 1980s movies, or engaging with my peers on Twitter. I believe in magic. Books are magic. Love is the most remarkable magic.
