She/Her.
I write dark, mythic fantasy that contemplates identity, empathy, & belonging.
I want readers to explore the beauty & burden of being human, and to believe that connection endures, even in the dark.

Quick reminder that I don’t just write books about intelligent cephalopods in love.
I also wrote a story about a trans moth and a butterfly who are lesbian for each other!

Why are we so afraid of being perceived as boring?
The “life of the party” is often someone I’d like to throat punch. So there’s that.

It’s okay if all you feel like reading is things you’ve already read and know you love.
Rereading is wonderful, actually and people should do it more often.

Rewrote my whole first chapter, basically.
Idk wtf I’m doing. I’m just trying to make this better. I dunno how revisions are supposed to go but did I succeed? I think so? Maybe not. In a month, I’ll hate it again?

With the state of *things*, I’m glad that I have a book to revise.
I’ll be popping in a bit less than usual, as I want to get my best version of revisions done before I send this book to my editor. I welcome a reason for escape.
Take care of your mental health.* Find joy where ya can.

If you've been working on a nice lil story (~60k words or less), I've got space for an edit in April! (Yes, I'm booking that far out—after that my next slot is in June!)
I'm grateful and shocked at how things are filling up, but definitely reach out sooner rather than later if you're ready to book.

So, we’re grilling tomorrow and then Monday I’m making chili. This time of the year is so weird.

Apparently some people walk on treadmills and do work. I already have a treadmill (that doesn’t get used).
So, I think I’m gonna try it. At least for like a month.
I’ve had much worse ideas (like the time I went blonde 😬). Has to be better than my predominantly sedentary lifestyle.
