I’m very glad to finally be here.

My debut fantasy novel, Of Ash and Echoes, will be published soon, and I can’t wait to share it with readers. This book has lived in my head and heart for a long time — a world of dead gods, buried truths, forbidden power, and characters I’ve grown deeply attached to.

I’ll be using this space to share occasional updates and behind-the-scenes thoughts.

Thank you to everyone who finds their way here early. I’m excited for you to step into this world.
