Author has written 30 stories for Fantasy, Romance, General, Sci-Fi, and Essay.

If Virginia Woolf were alive today, I would marry the shit out of her. And it's legal where I live. So there.


I'm good internet friends with this person. This story of hers is really good, so you should check that out. This person is pretty chill too. Check him out as well.

I usually hang out here.


Hey. I've been smacked in the face with a pretty serious depressive episode, and I haven't been able to write much. I'll try to get back on the horse, but it might be a while until I update regularly.


You may notice that a few of my stories, on the first page, have a bolded, italicized thing at the top saying a year. Every story that has one of these is in the same timeline. This little fictional universe includes some fantasy stories—Adeli the Compassionate, Anna, Broken—and some not—The Butterfly Experiment/Movement, The Spoken Words, Never Alone. This happened partially accidentally. A major character in Broken has a minor role in Butterflies, but Broken is in the same fantasy setting thing as AtC and Anna. A character or two appearing in both Never Alone and The Spoken Words also has a minor appearance in Broken (though I haven't actually written that chapter yet, but still). I considered undoing it, making them separate again, but decided it didn't really matter. There isn't any particular order anything should be read in—save for the Butterflies stories, where one really does follow the other. They all just share a continuity.

Yes, I am a crazy person.

The Devoted reviews
A time when magick was unwieldy, limited to lengthy ritual and often ineffectual catalysts. A society led by a ruling class who routinely defrauded and abused their subjects, common people both too weak and too fearfully complacent to fight back. A world before high culture, a world of only elementary art and music. Out of that world She gave birth to all we know.

Notes on the World of Adeli the Compassionate
All those damn fantasy terms and shit are so confusing. Why does this girl have to write something so complicated? What is it with these high fantasy writers and their penchant for making things as detailed and complicated as possible? Sometimes I just wish they would just make a thing to explain all the weird junk in their—oh, hey, look at that.
