I write scary fantasy books with strong female characters with tortured pasts. I am drawn to the weird and the creepy and love to tell stories that often deal with our perceptions of what is real and not real. 

While writing fiction is my first love, I also enjoy consistently writing about other topics. This has led to the creation of a few blogs which delve into such divergent topics as craft beer, mental health (including my own struggles with complex post-traumatic stress disorder), and the many interpretations of the story of King Arthur.

I was raised on a diet of Christopher Pike books, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Metallica.

I currently reside in the Pacific Northwest with my husband and our two cats (Sterling and Lady Jane Grey).
