I read a lot, I write a lot. 

I like happy endings and characters who are neither purely good or purely bad.

Space opera, fantasy, historical romance .. I'll turn my hand to anything really.

My stories have minimal violence.  Some have mental illness, but I like to show how that doesn't stop anyone from being amazing.

I'm not good at advertising myself, but if you happen to stumble on my stories and read them, feel free to comment. I'd love to know what you like or dislike.

I'm a huge fan of Émile Zola, his works and his writing philosophy.
