I've spent most of my life with my nose in a book, my fingers on a keyboard, and my hands on a drawing-board. I primarily focus on writing young-adult and adult science-fiction and fantasy.

My hope as a writer is to make my characters relatable, especially for people who struggle to find things to relate to in their personal life. I know for me, finding a character that 'gets me' helps me a lot in my day to day life and makes me feel a little less alone.
