As a writer of horror and dark speculative fiction, I find inspiration in the macabre and unsettling, a reflection of my fascination with the human psyche, nurtured by my background in psychology, education, and literature. What you’ll find in all my work are morally gray characters, struggles with complicated grief and mental illness, and a queer, feminine lens of horror.

While I loved my years as an elementary teacher, getting to know and teach many wonderful students, I’ve now embraced my true calling as an author.

As a southern girl who’s lived all over the U.S. (as well as overseas), I have stories set in many places, but I seem to keep coming back to the South.

Beside writing, I love playing pretend with my daughter, hiking, retro video games, and playing Dungeons and Dragons.
