fine…I’ll talk about myself.

Where do I start? For as long as I can remember, writing has been my means of escape, a space where I can spin stories, explore more satisfying realities, and craft the kind of book boyfriends I’d gladly stay up all night for.

In the summer of 2023, after publishing my first novel, Nemesis, I took a leap of faith and left my day job to chase writing full-time. Armed with a small nest egg and fueled by delulu, I poured everything into finishing my Black Fates series. Six months into my journey, I published Sworn in Blood, the second book in the trilogy, and dove into the world of book marketing.

This journey has pushed me far beyond my comfort zone, teaching me that promoting my books isn’t just about sharing stories—it’s about sharing myself. As someone who has struggled with self-esteem, anxiety, and imposter syndrome, stepping into the spotlight hasn’t been easy, but I’m learning to own my story, one chapter at a time.

When I’m not writing, you’ll find me baking, hiking, exploring secondhand shops and used bookstores, or indulging my passion for sustainability (and my Etsy obsession). After reading my blogs or following me on social media, you may find some specific-to-me details leaking into the characters I write. I hope you trust me when I say there are many more characters, stories, and worlds to escape into.
