As a READER: I like fantasy, mysteries, short fiction, fairytales, satire, graphic novels, and poetic prose.

As a WRITER: Most of my stories focus on exaggerating the absurdities of everyday living. I base my characters on the unusually awesome, but often misguided misfits who go about daily life camouflaged as normal, functioning people. I write to spread hope and make people smile because, despite my cynicism, I am a hopeful person.

As a ME: I'm a proud chipped nail polish wearer, and I love (need) coffee and enjoy whiskey, but cannot stomach an Irish coffee. Go figure. I believe cereal is best eaten soggy, yetis exist, and CAPS LOCK is for yelling.

Thank you for reading. 🙏
