A Fondness for the Reckless: A Ten Past Midnight Story
Your Nickel's Worth Publishing, 2025
It’s the interview everyone has been waiting for. Yet when Canadian musical sensations Ten Past Midnight arrive for their first television interview Indie is nowhere to be seen. Frustrations boiled over in recent days causing Indie to walk away from the band he created with best friend Jaxson. Indie is standing in the airport ready to fly to Los Angeles to sign a solo deal with another label — a label owned by Indie’s heartthrob pop music superstar boyfriend. While Indie questions his decision to leave, Jaxson and his bandmates face difficult questions from a savvy reporter looking for a scoop.

His Name Was James
Self-published, 2026
"Who is your dad, anyway?"
It was an innocent question from my childhood friends — one I couldn’t answer. I grew up in a small town in Saskatchewan wondering why other kids had a dad and I did not. For years, I was left to imagine where he was and what he was like. At the age of 19 I learned his name and that stoked my curiosity. Years later, I tracked down James Victor, Jr., Hollywood hairdresser, salon owner, teacher... and my father. This is the story of my mother, my father, hairdressing, and the legacies we leave behind.
