About

I write edgy/contemporary novels, and am an author + artist + general non-conformist ;)

My first two books (EyeLeash: A Blog Novel, and 4:Play)are multiple-genre-crossing. I enjoy including psychological andemotional elements in my work, as I believe this adds a level of depthand authenticity to the story + characters.

+ Zodiac: Virgo sun, Pisces moon, Aries rising.
