I’ve always believed that memory defines who we are. Not just what we recall, but the stories we carry and the truths we choose to live by. After years of crafting stories for global audiences, I’ve turned my focus to fiction that blends speculative ideas with deeply human emotions. Whether you’re here out of curiosity or connection, I hope you find something that resonates.
When I am not writing, I love to immerse myself in books and tend to read between 70 and 80 books per year — I wish I could read more! I also love running and spending time with my four dogs: a really funny Golden Retriever and three adorable Shih Tzu.
