About the Author
From the time I was around nine years old, I’ve been sharing stories that have left teachers and parents feeling pretty down. However, over time, my tales have become less depressing and, with any luck, more enjoyable to read.
Nowadays, I create fantasy novels that feature strong, impressive women and a good amount of romance.
Apart from writing, I spend my days working in cybersecurity marketing, catching up on movies, or sketching. My home is in Rhode Island, with my fiance, a very obedient bunny, a naughty bunny, and a rather skeptical cat.
