Thank you so much for your interest in my novels!

The Loudest Silence is now OUT and available for purchase! And you can find links here!

Someone to Daydream About is not available for preorder yet, but in the meantime, a great way to support it would be to add it on either Goodreads or StoryGraph! You can find those links here!

Yes! If you're in the greater PDX area, I would be happy to visit your middle/high school in-person. If you're located elsewhere, I'm available for virtual visits to schools, libraries, book clubs, etc. There is no fee for either. Please reach out using my contact form!

I know a lot of people get curious when it comes to disabled folks—and though I am personally very open about my experiences and disabilities—I want to warn against asking this question, as it may make people uncomfortable. (And nobody truly owes anyone an explanation about their identity.) But, to answer the question:

I am Deaf-Hard of Hearing, physically disabled, have chronic pain disorders, and Generalized Anxiety Disorder.

During COVID-19, I started voraciously reading. And the more I read, the more I fell in love with the art of storytelling—but, my true “lightbulb” moment was when I read This Is Kind of an Epic Love Story by Kacen Callender and stumbled across unexpected, and wonderfully written, Deaf rep. That book became a safe haven for me—somewhere I felt understood and accepted—and triggered the desire to write my own stories; stories that could (hopefully) help others feel the same way!
