The first story I ever wrote was one of redemption and plagiarism - an illustrated tale about Care Bear spokesperson Tenderheart Bear^tm teaching a grumpy black bear how to love.

So, it had a happy ending.

Many years later at Toronto's York University, I earned my Honours BA in Fine Arts Cultural Studies (I use the term "earned" loosely, considering the essays on my friends and the self-designed course on comic books). After graduation, I hung around to attend Osgoode Hall Law School. However I quickly realized the study of law was teaching me how NOT to love and I promptly ran away.

So, this too had a happy ending.

Horribly out of shape, I only ran as far as the other end of Toronto, although from my playwriting credits you'd think I'd made it all the way to Calgary. Now I live and write (About Toronto, among other things) in a little apartment with a sweetheart of an actor and two talkative cats.
