Writing
Having grown up engaged in transformative fandom culture, I want to create lifelike worlds populated by complex characters — worlds that readers will want to continue exploring even after the story I’ve written reaches its final page. As a result, I specialize in speculative fiction and historical fiction, which allow both myself and my readers to explore new areas of information and thought through my research and writing.
