I do what I want.
A BRIEF GLIMPSE OF ME...
I invite fantasy readers into new worlds with empowering, wild stories. Readers of all kinds discover inspiring perspectives when they read the Raashan Series and the Lost Beacon Chronicles that will help enrich your dreams. I am a fantasy author, designer, podcaster, Bookfest Bellweather, and all around silly person. Romantic subplots are a staple in my writing, especially in my Raashan Series.
I have a degree in history, with specializations in the ancient Etruscans and medieval Britain. History and mythology are continuous inspirations for my writing, so you'll even get some fun history to rattle off at parties when you read my books.
The Raashan Series is an epic dark fantasy series with inspired, slow burn romantic subplots that begins with the world of Raashan in a state of post apocalyptic chaos in To Save a World.
Spare the Swallow is the origin story of the Lost Beacon Chronicles, which is a historical dark fantasy series that follows the unwilling immortal, Lucretia, as she wanders the earth in search of her purpose.
The podcast I Do What I Want! is basically just me talking through my personal writing journey, occasionally chatting with friends about books, sharing short stories, and my life as an author in general. It's funny. You should listen.
I design my own book covers and page layouts, as well as occasionally designing covers for fellow authors, like the award winning poetry books Behind Her City Eyes and Secrets Make You Sick by Sarah Erin.
Also, I love cheese.
