​Raised on the Game Cube and Gail Carson Levine novels, I’m a 30-something millennial writing and living abroad in Switzerland. With a Master’s in Secondary English Education, I have spent the past decade as a full-time English teacher, chiseling away at my stories, while (hopefully) inspiring the youth to read. It hasn't been until recently that I have gotten my act together, and spent some time setting the analytical-reader hat aside for the writer one. With my nose to the grindstone, I'm proud to have finished my first fantasy novel with several other stories waiting in the wings.
Originally from Roanoke, Virginia, I have lived in a few countries, and believe that I carry my experience and observations about diverse cultural, linguistic, and historical insights into my writing. I have a passion for cultures of antiquity and enjoy creating fantastical worlds that break away from the traditional "medieval Europe" mold. I love world-building, but focus my stories on character and emotion. If you enjoy high-fantasy novels that play with typical tropes while building an intricate setting with complex characters, then check out my stories.
