 About the Author 

Thinker. Story-lover. Writer. Poet. Dreamer.

I write character-driven, upmarket speculative fiction, with the hope that readers will find a piece of themselves within the pages.

​​​

It seems there have always been stories in my head. Although my early ambitions pointed toward the one of the sciences, a serious illness in high school forced me to stop and reevaluate everything. It reshaped my body, my mind, and even my sense of the world. It was a true metanoia, years before most people face anything like a mid‑life crisis. I began writing poetry to work through some of those heavy feelings, then I turned to lightly speculative worlds, with characters who take you along on their journey toward a better life.​

I am still writing poetry, when the mood strikes, but am focusing more on novels. I am the author of several published short stories, my self-published Fable Triad, and a few unpublished novels. I love to write for all the story-lovers, the book-smellers, and those who can't wait to see a story unfold in their mind.

. . . and I LOVE to read! I enjoy almost every genre - and a book series is even better. My favorite reads are still science fiction, fantasy, murder mystery, and thriller, but I'm not afraid to try something new. The library is AWESOME.
