About Me
I write fantasy novels with deep world-building and captivating stories. My characters long for places they weren't meant to be, and they'll give up anything to get there. Just like you. (Unless you really are the last in a line of sorcerer-kings, destined to defeat the demon hordes with the power of your genes. In which case, please get a move on.)

Anyway, biography. In my early twenties I moved away from my friends to a basement apartment on a gravel road in the country, as part of a life backup-plan that I never thought I’d follow. I was used to texting people and meeting them up the street for dinner or drinks. Now, in a cellular dead zone with a dial-up Internet connection, all I could do was read stacks of novels on the back porch, surrounded by green hills, orange trees, and a vanguard of crickets determined to die on my welcome mat. I didn’t have a stove or a kitchen sink, just a microwave and a plastic bin for carrying dishes and chicken-nugget crumbs to the bathroom.

One evening I put the door key in my sneaker and jogged further down the gravel road, as if being thirty miles from the nearest Laundromat wasn’t far enough. I turned down a narrow lane, kicking up gravel into grass taller than me, and as the sun made stained-glass patterns among the tree branches I came to a web of dirt paths yet unknown to Google Maps. Soon I wasn’t sure if I was on a road, or a driveway, or an ATV trail, or what. Twilight fell, and you can fill in your own Robert Frost reference here but what I’m really trying to say is that reading a hundred stories did not at all prepare me for not being part of a story, so I decided to write some that would have.
