I am a real life cyborg and mutant – though one without any cool powers. When I am not writing or cursing obvious villain mistakes, I warp young minds in her Reality is Optional Kid’s Writing Club, at WordsWorth Writing Camp and through the Dramantics Theatre Camp. My short story, Life Before War, was short listed in the 2008 CBC Literary Award and published in FreeFall Magazine. Another short story, Returning Home, was published in the Alexandra Reader Anthology. My children’s plays include The Block, Rock n’ Roll Trolls, Polar Power Quest,  The Siren’s Song – Curse of the Amulet (performed to a near sold out crowd at the 2011 Calgary Fringe Festival), and Jail Break - A Space Comedy. My adult play, Wex, was written back when I was still called Kim Wakeford and performed by two different companies. My published YA novels include Schizo and Hook Up, both published by Lorimer SideStreets. I hope to also have a self published book out soon called Boiled Cat.
I write all the time.
