About the author

Since the moment I gained consciousness, I've been obsessed with stories in every medium, whether it was watching films, reading books, writing my own, or performing someone else's. Narrative and plot devices control my whole entire life, and I continue to use my love of storytelling as a life raft during turbulence. (I'm mixing my metaphors now, but you get it.)

My author niche is what I like to call the 3 W's--whimsy, woe, and weird. These three things will generally be braided into any project of mine, no matter what genre I decide to play around in.

I have a hard time fitting my bibliography into a single spot on a bookshelf, and building an author "brand", because I never want to do the same thing twice. I always want to subvert the expectations of my reader and surprise them just when they think they've got me figured out. You'll never guess what's coming next. ;)

Publishing Journey

During the pandemic, at age 20, I wrote and self-published my first novel, a YA historical fiction novel called Hooverville about the class differences in 1932 New York.  

Over the next 3 years, I wrote and released three installments of the Morbid Tales series, speculative-horror short story anthologies, each of which became Amazon bestsellers.

In Spring of 2025, I began querying for tradition publication my most recent novel, None of That Was Real! an adult mystery/thriller about former child actors, a cast reunion party, and a murder. Stay tuned.

While I always have a few tricks up my sleeve, I'm not currently drafting a major project (unless you count my AA degree, which...I do.)
