Reading list: Young Adult Fiction about Psychosis
I had the brilliant idea recently that I should write up some lists of books that are similar in genre and subject matter as my own. As you know from my tagline, I mainly write suspense and young adult fiction about mental illness, addiction, and abuse.

Por mí misma
Su madre. Los chicos en la escuela, y los maestros y administradores también. Incluso la policía, que la recoge de sus paseos nocturnos. Quizás ellos más que nadie.
Su terapeuta alega que tiene 'problemas', pero todo es lo mismo. Él piensa que sus vívidas y recurrentes pesadillas, y su comportamiento atroz de algún modo apuntan a algún trauma de su pasado; pero Emma, su madre, no puede explicarlo ...

Canada’s Third World Nation Infographic
It's really amazing how blind we can be to what is going on around us. I had some awareness of the living conditions of our Aboriginal People as far back as 1988/89, pre-internet, when I wrote a short story about them on my XT computer. In the intervening time, almost three decades, I kind of assumed that things had changed. The media tends to portray aboriginals as whining over historical treatment which cannot be changed, or turning down million or billion dollar petrochemical deals. Very little is said about current conditions, and then it is buried by news of natural disasters or elections.

Tattooed Teardrops Nominated for “In the Margins” Best Books for Teens Award
It's all there in the title. In February, Ruby, Between the Cracks won the Top Ten Best Books for Teens In the Margins award, and now Tattooed Teardrops has been nominated as well! Can I saw how much I love the folks over there at Library Services for Youth in Custody? Between you and me, they may have asked for review copies of another book as well...

Release of June & Justin!
June & Justin, the eagerly-awaited sequel to the award winning Ruby, Between the Cracks, is now available for purchase! It was on my production schedule for earlier in the year, but I need to remember how long it takes my beta readers and editors to review such a long book. (I have already updated my production schedule for book 3, Michelle, to take that into account...)
