Queer Confessions Reading Series - June 2nd

Please join me on June 2nd at The 519 where I'll once again be reading as part of the Queer Confessions reading series. Coinciding with Pride, the theme for the evening is "Loud and Proud." I don't know who the other readers will be, but I'll post again when I do. The event starts at 8 pm and is held at 519 Church Street in Toronto. To find out more, go here. See you then!

"Safe" in The New Quarterly

I'm very excited to see my story "Safe" out now in the latest issue of The New Quarterly (no. 138). The story is about a high school English teacher and his obsession with the murder of Chinese student Jun Lin four years ago. I was worried that no one would take on the story given its subject matter, so I'm very grateful that it found a good home at The New Quarterly. The new issue also has work by Elizabeth Hay, Steven Heighton, Cynthia Flood, and a number of others. Can't wait to dig in! Check it out! Also, learn all about why I do not write at my desk by checking out the TNQ blog here
