About Me

I'm currently the Publicity Assistant at Penguin Group (Canada).

I'm also a member of the EYE Weekly Pop Fiction club. Every month the club discusses one work of fiction and the results are posted on eyeweekly.com (the online component of Toronto's alt weekly).

Please also check out my blog, A Certain Bent Appeal. I post books news and reviews and have been doing so since early 2009. ACBA has been mentioned on globeandmail.com, Quill & Quire online and The Afterword.
