About the author
The person behind
the stories.
I write adult epic and urban fantasy with a strong romantic throughline. My favorite characters are clever, stubborn, protective, and often one bad decision away from ruin.
My late brother and I hunted for books in flea markets and used bookstores. I still have his collection at home, torn dust jackets and all.
