What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest short story: The Fallen, was inspired my own training within the Canadian Armed Forces. Though it is a work of fiction, it deals with a lot of realities that come with the job. My own fear of losing a close friend in a combat situation really drove the story.

I write primarily in longhand, with a pen and notepad. Most of my novel was written during a field exercise with the military. I spent most of my free time curled in my sleeping bag with a notepad.
