My Surprising Journey to Becoming an Author


Since the release of my debut novel The Life We Bury, I’ve been so happily astonished at its warm reception. I’ve received many moving, heartfelt messages from readers who have enjoyed and been affected by the book. And it has continued to steadily find new readers everywhere—it’s been in the top 100 at Amazon in Canada for the past 100 days, for example, and starting today, The Life We Bury will be sold on the “Emerging Authors” shelves of Target stores! As exciting as it is to see your book on the shelves at Barnes & Noble and independent bookstores, seeing it in a big box mass retailer like Target is a bit surreal.

All of this has inspired me to reflect on the path I’ve taken to this point, and I made a short video to share with readers the surprising journey I’ve taken to get here. This video goes out to the wonderful readers who have written and asked me about my personal story, as well as to new and potential readers who want to learn more about the man behind the book.

    I haven't read your your novel as yet however I'm in the process of reviewing novels selected for the Bouchercon 2015: Anthony Awards and became intrigued by the write ups, then your bio on Amazon. I am about to download it now on my kindle and am looking forward to reading it.

    Just finished reading The Life We Bury. Couldn't put it down from about midway through. Very good story. Wonder if it had its origins in a real case you came across?

    I just finished "The Life We Bury" and couldn't read it fast enough. What a great book! I'm recommending it to all my book loving friends and plan to read your other books. Thank you for sharing your talent.
