Like many aspiring authors, my love of great storytelling led me to first start writing fiction when I was a child. After reading hundreds of books and writing dozens of silly poems and stories throughout childhood, I took my love of literature and writing to college where I majored in English Literature and minored in Creative Writing. And it was in college where my aspirations of one day becoming a novelist took hold. And while my educational and career goals have evolved throughout my life, the burning desire to tell great stories has always remained. Today, in my (very) spare time, I still pursue that dream of one day publishing a novel! Taking my inspiration from great writers such as Toni Morrison, Octavia Butler and N.K. Jemisin, I primarily write adult literary fantasy and science fiction.
