What are some major accomplishments you have had since your Sweet publication?
Published my first novel with NeWest Press in 2016: Border Markers.
Can you tell us about a current/ongoing project that you’re excited about?
I’m revising a YA novel with my agent!
Who is your favorite author?
Haha. Impossible.
What is your favorite poem/essay/book?
Also impossible. But I’ll say that Alicia Elliott’s A Mind Spread Out On the Ground is still with me, daily, since I first read it a year ago.
What are you reading right now?
To survive the pandemic, lots and lots of feminist romance novels. And plenty of nonfiction about furthering my anti-racist work.
What is your favorite sweet? We would love for you to share a recipe or link to place that serves it. Pictures are great, too!
Butter tarts with raisins. Oh my. Recipes exist galore.
A Canadian classic!
