Author of fantasy, horror, romance, and speculative fiction
My Writing
Lyrical Prose, Expansive Plots
I am a pretty prose junkie. I take inspiration from the gorgeous works of authors like Jacqueline Carey, Laini Taylor, and Erin Morgenstern, while also crafting complex character arcs and intricate plotlines. I love bold, dramatic, passionate stories told with emotive prose to match.
Darkest Before The Dawn
A common theme in all my work is the enduring nature of hope, no matter how lost it seems. Whether in a fantasy romance or a small town horror, you’ll find characters struggling with guilt, grief, trauma, and redemption. I err on the dark side, so the light shines all the brighter when it comes.
