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 explain the psychedelic renaissance and how it will affect the lives of families. It’s an exploration I can’t wait to share with you.
ABOUT 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.
ABOUT MY ZINE
Let’s Talk ABOUT DRUGS
While researching and writing my upcoming book about psychedelics for regular people, I realized how crucial it is for families to have open and honest conversations about substances—not just psychedelics, but all substances.
Many families avoid the topic entirely, fearing that education about safe substance use might come across as encouragement. But steering clear of the conversation leaves room for misinformation to fill the gap.
When I looked for resources to that would help me prepare for discussions in my own family, I couldn’t find what I needed. That’s why I created a 20-page zine.
You can purchase my zine in print form for delivery in the US or Canada, or download it for free as a PDF.👇

ABOUT 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
You can buy my book as a paperback or an ebook at major online bookstores.👇
