About me
I am a black belt in American Freestyle Karate, and use my experience in martial arts to help me write action-packed, suspenseful page-turners. I’ve read too many stories where the friendships are unhealthy and the ships are toxic, so I’m dedicated to creating exciting stories that contrast darkness with light, that celebrate characters who strive for good, and where respect and love are the unspoken standards.
When I’m not writing an awesome fight scene, I can be found wandering the outdoors looking for inspiration, drawing portraits (of people real or fictional :D), or curled up with a book and a hot mug of tea (or hot chocolate, but not both at once ;P).
My mission
As a younger teen reader, I was curious about the other sections of the library, ready to find out what the big kids were reading.
After a few excursions, I wondered whether all ‘big kid’ books were full of this much death, gore, unclean content, and heaviness. Was this how the real world worked? Was this an accurate depiction of what went on in a teen’s head as they grew older? I hoped not. I didn’t want to be that kind of person.
I began writing my own stories. Stories where the main characters treated one another with love and respect while going on wild, exciting adventures and saving the world. Stories where I could get lost in a world with characters I loved who were human and broken, but still strove to do the right thing.
I want my books to encourage teenagers and young adults not to settle for what the world celebrates, but strive for what the world needs.
