"I'm a licensed veterinarian (graduated from the Ontario Veterinary College in 2003) and a recovering wildlife biologist. In 2009 I completed my doctorate in Epidemiology (studying the health of stray dogs in a spay/neuter/rabies control program in India).
I've been writing short stories professionally since 2001 (details in my bibliography), and my debut collection (Animythical Tales) was published by Fantastic Books in 2010. I entered the Writers of the Future Contest 17 times before I finally took home a prize. I'm not very good at quitting."
