“We don’t read and write poetry because it’s cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. Medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.” 

I’m so excited to have you here. I hope you love my stories just as much as I love writing them. I approach my writing as something I do purely out of passion.  My stories explore the nuanced experiences of life… why we behave the way we do and how we experience life, whether that’s joy, love, or suffering. I love creating characters and situations, and bringing them to life with my words. 

I hope you’ll find something to enjoy here. From sneak peeks of my upcoming novels to behind-the-scene glimpses of my writing process and more. I look forward to connecting and sharing my love of writing with you.
