About
Like my characters, I'm far from perfect. I'm dyslexic and dysgraphic, learned English as my second language, and spent my career in tech before turning to fiction.
I probably worked on several of the pieces of software you use every day, including Amazon, Google, Slack, and Twitter. I'm a D&D enthusiast, food lover, and compulsive traveler who's endlessly fascinated by humanity's contradictions.
My stories explore what happens when flawed people face extraordinary circumstances, because the most interesting characters are the ones who struggle beautifully with being human, even when they are wizards.
