About Me

Hey There!

I grew up on a farm in rural Indiana, where the sky stretched forever. The closest thing to adventure was whatever I imagined hiding in the trees. Now, I live in Denver, where the mountains keep the horizon interesting.

I write fantasy epics, dark fiction, and whatever strange idea refuses to leave me alone. World-building is my favorite part of the process—I love crafting places with deep histories, tangled politics, and characters who don’t always make the right choices but damn well commit to them and the consequences that follow. My stories circle around power, identity, and the messy parts of being human, often with a touch of myth and magic.

When I’m not writing, I’m probably sketching, playing a video game, or engaging in good-natured gossip (because a story without drama just isn’t right).

I share my life with my boyfriend and our three cats. Creativity is at the core of everything I do, and I’m lucky enough to share that with my boyfriend, who also collects hobbies. Between us, there’s always something being built, painted, written, or dreamed up.
