edit data

I write fantasy, sci-fi, and an occasional thriller. My books celebrate empowering themes and always have a dash of romance, so they’re… noblebright, kind of?

My latest work is Dragons of the Great Wyves, which completes the award-winning Jane Austen Fantasy trilogy. My next project is likely Tiger Seed, a contemporary fantasy rooted in ancient Indus history, although a screenplay for Miss Bennet’s Dragon is tempting…

I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and help out the writing community when I can. In what spare time remains, I collect Jane Austen paraphernalia and suitably two-legged dragons.
