Chester Gets A Pet!

Book cover

My latest book (and first picture book) is Chester Gets A Pet!, co-authored with furniture artist extraordinaire Judson Beaumont. The characters are all based on real furniture, which you can check out at Straight Line Designs.

Chester O’Drawers Teakson wants a pet, but his parents just don’t think he’s old enough yet. So, Chester has to find a way to prove that he’s ready and responsible. Then along comes Sandy. Is she a kitten? No. Is she a goldfish? Nope. But she does have four legs, a lovely smooth finish, and a whole lot of puppy-like energy. Now Chester realizes that maybe — just maybe — his parents were right!

Fractured: Happily Never After? 3 Tales


My first book, Fractured: Happily Never After?, launched in November 2010 from McKellar & Martin Publishing Group.

In it, three fairy tales–Snow White, Cinderella, and The Little Mermaid–are updated for the 21st century. Things are a little different: there are no horse-drawn carriages. No talking animals or magic. Instead, there are text messages, reality TV shows, Facebook drama… and perhaps a handsome prince or two.

You can order online directly from my publisher by clicking here (support indie presses!). Or you can order from Amazon.ca (yes, they’ll ship to the US), Chapters Indigo, or McNally Robinson.
