About the Author:
Nearly every writer struggles to put together information about themselves, perhaps because we’re so used to detailing the lives and ways of others. For the most part I am a writer, editor, photographer, and all-around artist living in the wilds north of Toronto, Ontario. I thrive on the juxtaposition of beauty and grit, enjoy urban crawls, indie everything, and time well-spent in the woods.

Excerpt:
It always starts like this. My vision starts to blur and the
depth of the dirty brick walls plummets into a single plane, like I’m staring
into an abyss that never ends. Pins and needles prick their way over my body
and I fall backward, sinking through layers of sticky black sludge. I land with
a thud and David is before me speaking urgently. His eyes are lined with
confusion and anger.
“Piper, I don’t like what you’re doing. Please, for the sake
of our mother and our friends, put an end to it now,” he says to me. We’re at our
place in the mountains, the stars peering onto us like frail paper lanterns. I
look at him seriously, my hand over my mouth, mind reeling at what he’d said.
“You don’t understand, David. I love him,” I reply, feeling
tears brim my eyelids.
“… … ….” David’s lips are moving, but the noise coming out
of his mouth is like raw static.
“I can’t hear you. What’s going on?” I ask. He looks like I
just slapped him in the face.
“I can’t believe how selfish you are! “… … … ” He shouts,
then comes the static again.
“David, I think there’s something wrong right now. I haven’t
done anything!” I cry frantically, grabbing his shoulders and shaking him. He
brushes me off and gives me a hard stare.
“People are going to get hurt, Piper. I need you to
understand that!” he shouts.
“I don’t understand, David!” I plead, “How are people going
to get hurt?”
I hear more static come
from his mouth, but he doesn’t seem to notice, he just keeps talking, clearly
thinking he’s telling me something important. Frantically, I look around for a
clue as to what is going on. When I turn back to him, David’s face starts to
deteriorate and his body fades away to dust.
