Your Instructor
I'm a fantasy author living in Toronto, Ontario.
I've been through the tireless struggles of writing and putting my work out there. The rejections, the endless editing, you name it, I've been in your shoes. But, I've been persistent through it all and have learned a monster truck full of knowledge along the way. I'm now working out a contract with a publisher in Toronto.
