As an avid reader from a young age, it only made sense that one day I would write my own stories. I grew up in a small town in central Alberta Canada where there wasn't much to do but read, cheer on the Oilers and attempt to enjoy the long winter months.
After high school, I attended college where I played 4 years of college basketball and eventually went into Health and Well-being as a career. I am currently a Kinesiologist at a physiotherapy clinic during the daytime, and I work for a film and television company as a Genomic Analyst (I essentially watch movies and television and analyze them...in great detail). All of this I do while writing full-time as well, and its honestly the perfect combination of all my passions. Fitness, film and television, and of course, writing!

Watcher
Hunt the bots. Avoid the carbons. Stay alive.
Sawyer’s life is simple, if not easy. Her home might be in ruins, but she can protect what’s left of it.
A city destroyed by the bots—that’s home. Humans have been hunted, but Sawyer is one of a few who have turned the tables. She’s a Watcher. Taking out the bots one by one. Protecting what’s left. It’s the carbons she needs to be wary of. Faster and stronger than humans, they’re dangerous. But Sawyer’s smarter. That will keep her alive.
At least, that’s what she believed. But the carbons are evolving, and their plans are ever more cunning. Suddenly her friends are dying. Safety can no longer be taken for granted—not even for the Watchers. At least she has Kenzie. Love is a strong word, but whatever they have, it’s what keeps her going.
Embarking on a desperate mission to save humanity from extinction, Sawyer discovers that the line between friend and foe is no longer easily drawn when one of her own betrays them.
And when a horrific plan comes to fruition, Sawyer will have a choice: who to save, and who to let go.
Divergent meets Terminator in this epic YA Trilogy. Get it today.
“…a strong start to an exciting dystopian series that promises to be a thrilling trilogy.” -- Library of Clean Reads

Watcher
Now this is something. YA is not the world I normally live in. Let alone the world dystopians. So fresh eyes for a mid-grade reader. Let go. Cover The elements of the story are on the cover. A person living as a ghost in ruin. I guess as a pro and a con her outline is hard to read having only her head and hands floating there but as a ghost aka Watcher it also makes sense. I have to say I LOVED the addition of the Eye gadget on her face. Interior I want to look at the story for a moment. This story is high paced with some really realized characters. At no point does the book make you wish to hurry up and get to the point. You appreciate when it take a moment to slow down and when it’s time to get the heart racing. There are enough clues that you can piece it together before you get to the end. The final twist is a really interesting direction. The emotion direction in this book is actually making me think right now about what Carbon might have to offer. I’m quite intrigued with the Carbon almost mix between Detroit Becoming Human game and I,Robot movie. Love Kenzie and Sawyer’s personalities and how all character work off each other. The degree’s of Carbon is an interesting angle. Through the violence and older moments, I do have to go oy. I ‘m not the type that does descriptive death. I get it’s YA and it runs on different rules so my conclusion… I’ve been saying it already on-line. It’s April 2020 and it’s one of the best books I’ve read so far this year and better than most of what I read in 2019.
