I stopped by a local bookshop to sign copies of ✨LETTERS TO KAFKA✨. It’s always so nice to visit the shops and talk to staff! You can get your copy wherever you buy books! And the library! 🫶

Being on CBC’s BOOKENDS with Mattea Roach to chat about ✨LETTERS TO KAFKA✨was a joy & delight. It’s the most influential CBC radio show about literature. Check this latest CBC article about all the Canadian books featured on the show (including me) : www.cbc.ca/books/booken...

C’mon @thestar.com , THIS is your headline about the infamous escaped capybaras?? The headline “The Pursuit of Capyness” WAS RIGHT THERE.

On the same day that my first book THE SYRIAN LADIES BENEVOLENT SOCIETY somehow hit the no.1 bestseller spot on Amazon (Canadian Short Stories list) 2.5 years after it dropped, I find out my second book LETTERS TO KAFKA earned out its advance only 6 months after it hit the shelves!

Get a load of this POS. Racist, xenophobic, clearly hates women, and LETS BE CLEAR— when he says he want to “practice bjj moves” on his date, he’s saying he wants to beat her up. I won’t post his pics but trust me, he looks like something that would eat its young.

Haven’t really posted about this, but my novel LETTERS TO KAFKA is a Heather’s Pick at Indigo. That means, when you walk into any Indigo or Coles across the country, you’ll find my book right there on the centre table. If you haven’t bought your copy yet, you know where to find it!

They say writers live a thousand lives, but the one I lived in 2025 was my favorite one yet. 🖋️✨ From boarding gates to book launches, this year was a reminder that life is meant to be lived out loud. I traveled, I wrote, I laughed until it hurt, and I did it all with the best people by my side. 🥂
