Welcome to my blog and author website!

I’m a Canadian author based in Toronto, formerly of Malaysia. I am the author the A Thousand Li progression fantasy series and the System Apocalypse LitRPG series, among others. My work has been released in audio, paperback, hardcover, and ebook formats, and translated into German, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, and several other languages. I was shortlisted for the UK Kindle Storyteller Award in 2021 for A Thousand Li: The Second Sect. In 2026, the first three books in the A Thousand Li series will be republished in hardcover by Ace Books. 

When I’m not hurting too much, I practise martial arts, read, watch too much TV and go out to live music and theater events. I’m a terrible martial artist, never having managed to get good at any single style, but that’s left me with very eclectic knowledge in everything from swords to spears to knife fighting and a variety of unarmed styles. 

While I’m still a huge geek, much of the time I used to devote to LARPing, Magic, board games and roleplaying has gone the way of writing. I still indulge one in a while, but mostly enjoy traveling and only occasionally dabbling in my old geeky pursuits.

I started writing again in early 2017 and published my first book in mid-2017 (A Healer’s Gift) for fun, and was entirely surprised people purchased anything. Ever since that I’ve been writing and releasing books furiously on catch up on all the stories that clamour to be released and have gone full-time in early 2019.

You’ll also find on this blog a series of publishing business posts, as a way of giving back to the community. Hopefully, the information and the details are of use to others.
