Did I set out to be a romance writer? Not at all. I entered a Creative Writing program in 2012 with the single grandiose goal of being a novelist and very little real knowledge of what that would entail. I was terrified of attempting the romance genre until, in a wave of post-grad depression, I decided to write some fanfiction about my favorite couple to keep my writing skills sharp. Five failed novels and a countless amount of fanfic later, here I am. And here you are! Thank you so much for checking out my website.

My favorite genres to read are fantasy, historical, dystopian, gothic, thriller, and romance.

My two favorite books are All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque and A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini.

Some authors who have inspired me over the years are Meg Cabot, Brian Jacques, Suzanne Collins, Olivie Blake, J.R.R. Tolkien, Holly Black, Marissa Meyer, and V. E. Schwab, among countless others.

And if we want to go back to my preteen days…we have to talk about all the Victoria Holt romance novels I stole from my grandmother’s bookshelf. Thankfully, those were heavily censored!
