Notes on My Work:

I like to break things apart and then try to piece them back together. Or figure out why it was broken in the first place.

"We’ve all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on...that’s who we really are." - Sirius Black


On Dedications: As writers, our work is usually inspired by our experience. In it is contained our truths, our loves, our desires, our demons. This is how we relate to people, and I've found that my strongest relationships are the ones that test these things, break into my system, and open my world a little wider.

For this reason, you'll find a dedication at the end of each of my complete pieces. Because although every story I tell is a little part of me, it is a little part of them as well.
