I’ve been making up stories for as long as I can remember. As a kid, I’d write them down and read them to my parents, not just because I wanted them to hear the story, but because I wanted to watch them hear it. I wanted to see when they laughed, when something surprised them, and whether the parts that worked in my head actually worked on someone else.

Apparently, I’ve always been a bit of a voyeur when it comes to readers.

These days, I write psychological horror and dark fiction about ordinary people finding themselves in situations that are anything but ordinary. I’m fascinated by the things people are capable of, the stories we tell ourselves, and that uncomfortable space where you’re no longer quite sure whether you can trust the person telling you the story. If I can make you reconsider something you were absolutely certain about three pages ago, even better.

My short fiction has appeared in Dark Matter Magazine’s Halloween Special Issue 2, where “The Drive” was published in 2022. I’m also the author of Into the Dark and other works of dark fiction, and I’m currently working on my psychological horror novel, The Quiet Ones. I’m pursuing my English degree at Southern New Hampshire University because apparently writing books wasn’t enough homework.

I also work as a developmental editor, which lets me indulge another part of my brain entirely. I’m not interested in rewriting someone else’s story into the story I would have written. I want to show writers what their story looks like to someone who doesn’t already know what they meant, because readers can’t see the version of the book living inside the author’s head. They only have what’s on the page.

When I’m not writing, editing, or thinking about writing while technically doing something else, I’m usually reading, accumulating more books than any reasonable person needs, or hanging out with my cats, who remain largely unimpressed by my literary accomplishments.

Seriously. There’s a Contact Me button right there. My inbox is approximately 97% spambots trying to fix my SEO, sell me things I don’t need, or convince me that I should be shopping for a Rolls-Royce.

I would much rather hear from you.

Happy Reading!
