Reid was born in
Halifax, Nova Scotia in 1980. She is a lifelong fan of
ice hockey, and played hockey when she was a teenager. She is the Canadian writer of the
Game Changers book series and other hockey-themed gay romance novels. She said in 2023, "
Game Changer came from a place of me being angry at hockey culture and how clearly
homophobic it was and is, and all the other things that made me really ashamed to be a hockey fan. That whole series attacks the
NHL and hockey culture quite a bit." A 2025 television series,
Heated Rivalry, was adapted from the first and second books in the
Game Changers series. The
Toronto Star reported that Reid's book had entered the top ten for bestselling Canadian works of fiction just ahead of the streaming release of
Heated Rivalry on
Crave in Canada. Reid has been working on the next book in her
Game Changers series, titled
Unrivaled, since early 2025. In an interview with
Entertainment Weekly, she said, "I feel like more than any other book I've written, this one needs to be really good. I hope I'm giving people what they want out of this." The book was originally scheduled to publish in September 2026 but was pushed back to June 2027. Reid cited health issues and her busy schedule as the reason for the delay. == Works ==
