Posted • 🇨🇦 At the award-winning (with Manager Nick!) in Toronto’s iconic arts & culture hub: .

Spacing is dedicated to diverse designers, artists and creators who celebrate the spirit of this city. I’m thrilled Spacing’s inventory includes my novels (the Boy at the Edge Trilogy) - which MGT Magazine has called, “A love letter to Toronto”! 🔸

For decades, my Canadian publisher has showcased “books that push limits and tear down borders in the hope of making the world a better place.” What brings us together as human beings? It’s the stories we tell through the arts. 🔹

My third novel, The B-Side of Daniel Garneau, features Toronto’s Distillery District, Pride, Luminato, and the NXNE Music Festival. Did you know every chapter is named after a Canadian song? 😉

Thank you, Nick! As The Globe and Mail says: “Spacing makes you believe in a better city.”
