Under the name Vanessa Cardui, my writing has appeared in On Spec Magazine (#106, 2017) and two anthologies from Laksa Media (Shades Within Us, 2018 and Seasons Between Us, 2021). My pieces from both of those anthologies received Aurora Award nominations from the Canadian Science Fiction and Fantasy Association in 2019 and 2022. I am seeking representation for my debut novel, A YOUNG MAN'S EDUCATION (Upmarket/Literary Fiction). Ask me about my four works in progress: THE MARSH HOUSE (Upmarket/Literary Fiction), THE LAST WILLOW (Historical Fantasy), WIZ KIDS HOMESCHOOL (Middle Grade Fantasy), and ALIENS (Domestic Suspense).
