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.
