Writing

As a writer, I enjoy crafting narratives that transport readers to new realms. From my early days of creative writing, where I proudly snagged second place in a 4th-grade county-wide contest, to dabbling in fan-fiction—some of which still lingers on the vast expanse of the Internet—I discovered the transformative magic of storytelling. 

Up until the global pandemic, I never took any formal creative writing classes and had doubts about the publishable quality of my original work. In 2023, I completed the DIY MFA program. That’s where I drafted The Vanishing Castle, a cozy mystery starring a centaur safety inspector who just wants everyone to follow the rules and not die in a preventable magical mishap.
