HELLO!
I’M DAPHNE
I’m a writer and author with a background in journalism and a passion for storytelling. Right now, I’m immersed in writing my latest book, where I explore the psychedelic renaissance and how it will affect the lives of families. It’s an exploration I can’t wait to share with you.
MY WORK IN PROGRESS
Blending personal stories, journalistic research, and engaging interviews, my nonfiction book provides an accessible update to our collective understanding of psychedelics, including psilocybin, MDMA, ayahuasca, ketamine and cannabis. This is not a usage guide. I invite readers to reflect on the psychedelic movement and its broader impact, whether or not they choose to engage with psychedelics themselves.
A ZINE ABOUT CONSCIOUS SUBSTANCE USE FOR FAMILIES
As I dive into research for my upcoming book on psychedelics, I’ve realized how essential it is for families to openly discuss substances in general — not just psychedelics.
But drugs can be a tough topic to tackle. To make it easier, I’ve created a 20-page zine that’s simple, practical, and rooted in modern harm reduction insights. It’s designed to be accessible and thought-provoking, perfect for sparking meaningful conversations at home, among friends, or within your community.
You can purchase this zine in print form for delivery in the US or Canada, or download it for free as a PDF.
Thank you for your support!

MY FICTIONAL NOVELLA
Walking With Walser
My fictional novella Walking With Walser came out in 2015 and is now available as a paperback and an ebook at Chapters and Amazon.
Told in the eccentric voice of a middle-aged writer who idolizes the German modernist Robert Walser, the story follows Ursula on a day-long walk in her beloved downtown neighbourhood, Queen St. West in Toronto.
“The effect of this book is staggering: like its narrator, it is bold, outrageous, opinionated, and deeply compassionate.”
— Sarah Selecky, author of Radiant Shimmering Light
