I am a cross-genre speculative fiction author based in Lawrence, Kansas.

My long form fiction typically follows flawed characters searching for hope and belonging. I take inspiration from storytelling forms ranging from ancient epics to tabletop roleplaying games.

I am currently developing two novels set in the Severed Realms, half of a broken world where monsters roam and men were once immortal. My short story The Raven Wife can be read in Five on the Fifth magazine. I've been a recurring guest on The Act Break podcast where I've discussed generating creative ideas and maintaining joy in the long haul of writing a novel, among other topics.

I also provide developmental editing via my LLC, Labyrinth Editing, for those pursuing either indie or traditional publication. I take great satisfaction in helping writers attain their creative visions in a clear and compelling way.

When not writing or editing, I enjoy cooking for my friends, hiking, traveling, and playing TTRPGs.
