A novel,Yes, and Back Again (2015, Thistledown Press) twins family secrets across historical and contemporary plotlines within the familiar background of Saskatoon's central neighbourhoods.

"Yes, and Back Again is a tale haunted by unanswered questions... lit by the forces of love, compassion, and community.” Leona Theis, Author

"Fans of contemporary short fiction should certainly be interested in The Sometimes Lake—a fine balance of profound humanity interacting with the wonders of the world.” Chad Pelley, The Telegraph Journal.
