About
I am a fantasy writer and world builder with experience in interactive fiction and game design. I have preference for mixed genre fiction such as urban fantasy, contemporary fantasy, or science fantasy fiction that often mixes with inspiration from my love of history and prefer to write stories that allow the exploration of deeper topics – such as living with chronic illness, inclusivity and representation, relationships, and trauma survival – in a safe format.
