I am a writer, editor, and language nerd. As a fiction writer, I gravitate toward speculative genres, though I've been known to dabble in literary fiction. Publications include the flash fiction chapbook Cryptid Bits (Last-Picked Books, 2024), the micro-chapbook Shapeshifter Diaries (Rinky Dink Press, 2023), and smattering of short stories in journals and anthologies, some of which you can read on my website. As a copywriter and ghostwriter, I work on a variety of projects, from blog posts and articles to book-length manuscripts. My particular areas of expertise include travel, mythology & folklore, music, and food & drink (especially coffee and tea).As an editor, I excel at developmental editing for speculative fiction. My particular areas of expertise include building consistent immersive secondary worlds, genre-blurring or genre-blending stories, fiction based on folklore and mythology, spec fiction using non-traditional or experimental forms or narratives, and character-driven sci-fi/fantasy.
