A smiling woman with shoulder-length brown hair, wearing a yellow shirt, against a gray background.

I’m a science fiction and speculative fiction author currently querying adult fantasy (with horror elements) and revising YA SFF. All of it is queer!

A promotional graphic for 'Pitch' featuring a dark background with red and white text. The text includes a tagline about surviving madness and saving a kingdom. The image contains three photos: a silhouette of a medieval castle on a hill, a worn-out cloth bag, and a mysterious dark tunnel with steps leading into it.

In Progress…
