edit data

I write Urban Fantasy and Dystopian Sci-Fi for people who are tired of pretending everything happens for a reason.

My stories are dark. The humor is sharp. The magic has consequences. And the characters don’t get saved by being good enough, pure enough, or chosen by fate.

They survive because they refuse to disappear.

If you need clean morals, gentle redemption arcs, or heroes who learn tidy lessons and move on, you will hate my books.

If you like broken people who still matter, found family built under pressure, bad decisions made for human reasons, and stories that leave scars—

You might feel uncomfortably at home here.

This isn’t comfort fantasy.
It’s survival fantasy.

Read accordingly.

Sometimes it's really hard, admittedly, and I look at it like starting a new workout routine or diet. The most pain happens in the very beginning, when it all just seems like too much. But that initial resistance is the body's/mind's way of telling me that I'm on the verge of something really big, and as long as I push through, the results are electrifying. Then it seems I just can't stop.(less)

The first is that I get to make up whatever I want, to delve deep into emotions, situations, characters, and worlds in whatever way I see fit. There's a certain reality I experience through my own work that I just can't give up.

The second is that I get to inspire readers in whatever ways are suitable for them. My goal is to illicit reactions in readers - whether it's joy, sadness, heart-pounding excitement, sweaty palms, rage, annoyance, or anticipation. As long as somebody feels SOMETHING when they read my work, I've done my job.(less)
