About the author

I aim for the following in my stories:
--a grand adventure
--nonhuman characters
--female lead characters with agency
--a variety of healthy relationship types
--diversity of genders, ages, species, races, and abilities
--at least a nod to scientific accuracy whenever possible
--mixing in of other genres, including drama, thriller, mystery, horror, and romance
--something bizarre, something unusual, something surprising, something funny

I do not aim for the following:
--graphically described sex scenes or gore
--abuse in relationships presented as healthy, normal, or sexy
--killing off characters or doing horrible things to them just to upset the reader

I grew up in Northern California, learning to read early and starting to write stories around age 6. I was soon writing and illustrating my own stories as my favorite hobby. In my late 20s I started self-publishing my stories.

I believe that reading and writing a lot makes you a better author, and I want to keep pushing myself to write better and better stories. I'm also exploring new and different ways to publish and market my work.

I hope you enjoy some of my writing and share it with others. Thanks for reading! Please rate and review!
