Fully qualified chicklit, adventure, fantasy, and sci-fi nerd, voracious reader, published author, and animal lover, currently residing in the midwest US.

What you need to know:

1️⃣ I don't generally write short-form unless it's non-fiction, Don't expect bite-sized stories here.

2️⃣ I'm a sucker for great worldbuilding, and I work hard at it in my novels.

3️⃣ I'm a full-time communications manager and part-time author. My updates follow the schedule life allows.

4️⃣ I'm not a social advocate. I write books as entertainment, and I don't shy away from difficult subjects. If you read to find affirmation, you're probably in the wrong place.

5️⃣ If my books are marked mature it's for a good reason. Please be cautious.

💥 Criticize me!
I welcome open and honest critiques. Bash my stories and ability to your heart's content, I welcome it, I thrive on it... just be specific and helpful. But personal attacks will be deleted and blocked. I've ripped myself apart more thoroughly than you ever could and I have no time to coddle amateurs 🤡

Note: My reads and votes are yours forever, but there's no such thing as a permanent follow. I'll oblige for events until I reach the cap, and then recycle space as needed, beginning with the oldest. If you follow me, I expect it's because I have something to offer you, and it's up to me to continue to provide compelling content. I expect no less from the accounts I follow.

IRL
I've published 2 trad YA novels and a slew of articles, including short stories. WP is an experiment and I don't want those worlds to overlap, which is why you won't see me publishing my other work under this banner.
