About the Author

Based in the Pacific Northwest, you’ll find me writing, reading, and musing at all hours, ideally behind a massive mug of tea with a dog at my feet.

I believe that story and intimacy are bastions against and pathways through the dark, difficult, and often nihilistic chaos of the world, and as an author, I create and share escapist, intimate, and ultimately hopeful stories of adventure and romance.

If that snags your interest, grab a mug of something hot and let’s go on an adventure!

On Reading and Writing:

“When a reader falls in love with a book, it leaves its essence inside him, like radioactive fallout in an arable field, and after that there are certain crops that will no longer grow in him, while other, stranger, more fantastic growths may occasionally be produced.” – Salman Rushdie –

“As poetry will do, those words took me far beyond themselves, straight through the hedge of thorns, into the secret place.” – Ursula K. Le Guin –

“You don’t have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading.” – Ray Bradbury –
