A Writerly Update

Well, hello there Reader Friends!

Its been awhile, yeah?

I thought Id hop on the ol website and jot a quick writerly update. I hope this finds you healthy and sane in the midst of such bizarre and trying times.

Several years back, I sat down and wrote The Gifting Trilogy, and ever since, Ive been an author torn between two genres: Young Adult of the semi-peculiar variety, and Contemporary Fiction
