I enjoy a special collegiality among other writers in the thriller community. They call me Canadas scariest writer, and I love that.

Sometimes people close a door because they’re trying to figure out a way to get you to knock.

Monsters just outside our peripheral vision are scarier to contemplate than monsters miles away or in someplace only a fool would set foot in.

To make the reader afraid, I had to be afraid.

We need to kind of refresh our fear in order to refresh our understanding of how a safe place works.

Theres something in human nature that says we need to have at least one symbolic place where chaos and dark desires can live.

Psychological horror is more interesting to me than the explicitly physical.
