THE PERSON BEHIND THE WORLDS
I’ve been telling stories since before I could hold a pencil.
I write fantasy and science fiction about strange worlds, impossible rules, and the people brave enough to become themselves.

WHERE IT STARTED
The first story arrived early.
At four, I dictated my first short story to my dad before my hands were coordinated enough to hold a pencil. My coordination is still questionable. My determination to tell a good story remains just as strong as that spunky four-year-old’s.
Somewhere along the way, those early stories grew into secret academies, lost worlds, mermaid curses, dangerous recipes, and characters who refuse to stay inside the roles their worlds chose for them.
WHAT I WRITE
Stories for anyone who has ever felt a little out of place.
01
Strange worlds
Hidden magic, underwater secrets, alien societies, and futures where even dinner can be dangerous.
02
Buried secrets
Every world has rules. My characters tend to discover who made them—and what happens when they refuse to obey.
03
People worth following
Romance, chosen family, complicated loyalties, and the courage it takes to become who you really are.
FROM TRAIL TO PAGE
Most stories begin somewhere between a hike and a daydream.
When I’m not writing, I’m often outside, using the trail to brainstorm new worlds and untangle difficult characters. I’ve even discovered the joy of dictation, with the slightly ambitious goal of speaking an entire first draft into existence while hiking.
No longer will I be shackled to my digital laptop overlord. At least, that’s the plan.
READY TO STEP INSIDE?
Come find your way into one of my worlds.
Meet shifters guarding impossible secrets, mermaids divided by an ancient curse, survivors on a distant planet, and a girl who discovers that forbidden food can start a revolution.
