I write fantasy, soft sci-fi, and fairy tales, often with neurodiverse or queer characters. Occasionally, I'll write stories set in our own world.
In addition to working on my own writing, I also run Luna Station Quarterly, an online literary journal devoted to female-identified speculative fiction writers. The Quarterly is the daughter publication of the small publishing company I run, Luna Station Press.
Outside of writing (and its close associate, reading), I'm a software engineer working to make the internet more human-friendly. I can also be found devouring comic books and video games, watching baseball, listening to music, and making things out of wool, paper, and wood.
