Happy to announce a new publication...

Set in the early 80s, in a local music scene brimming with post-punk ethos and a disdain for classic rock, Because is a wry and charming depiction of a sibling relationship founded on feverish angst, unspoken admiration, jealousy, and the pursuit of the greatest song they can write from their own room.

“…a powerful exploration of family and mental health and nostalgia and that whole notion of looking back on your life and saying, ‘did I do the right thing?’” – Sean Wilson, artistic director of the Ottawa International Writers Festival.

“The two brothers in this story, tucked into the magic envelope of their room, listening to records and making noise, figuring out which parts of adulthood they can inhabit or destroy, are as real to me as any kid I grew up with. The world of Because could only be Montreal, it could only be the 80s, it could only be these two kids in this particular family. It is real and moving and tenderly drawn.” - Missy Marston, author of The Love Monster and Bad Ideas

“…a work of imagination, observation and sparkling dialogue that continually surprises with infectious humour and heart…a subtle, memorable story about relationships, youth and loss.” - David O’Meara, author of Masses on Radar.
