Fiction + Poetry

Dystopian, post-apocalypse fiction

Think The Handmaid's Tale, Yellowjackets and The Road.

My obsession is writing immersive worlds, and crafting characters you'll either love, or love to hate. In my opinion, every good book has: action scenes, mystery and a thread of romance.

Raw, unfiltered poetry

For the ones who care deeply, chronically.

Poetic words that explore the human experience as seen through the lens of people-pleasing. I write about my nearly four decades-long struggle with people-pleasing, exploring my spiritually and finding my own sense of self love and worth.

If people-pleasing is a river, ebbing and flowing.

My poetry book is my dam.

May it be yours too, should you need one.
