“My creative passion lies in the natural, the supernatural, and the mystical within the mundane. Working with nature has fueled the biological detail in my writing down to a cellular level, allowing me to breathe fresh new life into mythological figures of old.
Fictional worlds are most thrilling when they blend a variety of fantasy, biological sci-fi, romance, and the heart-meltingly hopeful experiences that make us all too human. I tend to entice my characters with flashy rewards, just like the dogs I’ve trained—though the dogs often cooperate more than my characters.”
