I am a poe I live in Prince Edward Island, Canada. The prize for winning the Doire Press Second Annual International Poetry Chapbook Contest (2013) was the publication of my first poetry collection, The Invisible Girl which is available to order directly from me. It’s been a wonderful experience working with the great folks at Doire Press.

The Invisible Girl and my author’s page are also on Goodreads. Become my friend at Goodreads so we can share reading lists, and if you’ve read my chapbook — please consider adding your rating and comments. Thank you.
