Author fascinated by why we tell ourselves the stories we do. Folklore, myths and legends shift throughout time to stay relevant.
I write cinematic sci-fi and mythic fantasy at the intersection.

Special thanks to the Bestseller Experiment, Mark Stay and Mark Desvaux - plus all the Experimates who offered support, encouragement and incredulity when it mattered most. Have a photo of my writing buddy Lola in her usual spot beside me.
