About Faye

Faye has been writing for as long as she can remember. She likes to write about real people and real situations.
Every blog, every story, every article and every novel contains a part of who she is.
Her short stories have appeared in magazines and online. Her first novel INSIDE OUTSIDE launched in the fall of 2024. Her Auntie book will follow in 2025. Her next book is already in the editing stage and is a Young Adult thriller.
She lives in British Columbia, Canada with her family and besides reading a great book—or writing one—, Faye loves reality TV, travel, and hiking.

One of my favourite quotes:
“A word after a word after a word is power.” Margaret Atwood.
Who Am I?
A love of creative writing and storytelling opened up a different world for me as a kid growing up in a large family. I learned to wield a pen in order to make sense of my own reality and the things going on in the world.
The pen is a dynamic tool that allows us to share, acknowledge, influence, and change the world. (FA)
Before I wrote my first book or blogs, I was a freelance writer. I also tried my hand at the short story.
