Middle-Grade Fiction

My latest writing is a novel for middle-grade readers about a smart, strong-willed twelve-year-old girl named Lola whose life is upended when her mother sends her to live with her aunt in a seaside townhome in Vancouver. A funny, compelling story about ocean plastics, complicated families, and how hard it is for anyone to be “good” without a community of care and support.
