Hello! Here’s what I’m focused on these days, as a writer and human. (Updated November 2025)

  • Querying a world-hopping fantasy romance co-written with my writing partner and friend Faye Gabriel (our first book!) Signed with an agent!!! Currently working on edit letter revisions for Your World or Mine with Faye 🙂
  • Deep into draft one of a secret fantasy throuple novel with Faye and our friend Kat Weaver (we’re like 50k in, holy gods)
  • Writing science fantasy adventures for Draw Steel, just for me, that I’m excited to get out in the world in 2026
  • Holy gods, The Incandescent by Emily Tesh was brilliant. First book I’ve read in a while that I wish I wrote. Next: catching up on Claudie Arseneault’s Nerezia books!
  • Catching up on video games! Weird West is an absolute blast and I have died many times, but it is exactly what a weird RPG shooter should be.
  • Watching the final season of Evil and I don’t want it to end
  • Why won’t our ball python foster-son EAT SIR LAVENDER HAS EATEN A RAT
