My Story

My life is made up of a thousand stories: the ones I write and the ones I live. I currently live in the frozen wonderland of Southern Minnesota, where I work in EdTech. Whether writing fantasy or mystery, my goal is to create characters you know better than you know yourself and worlds you can slip into more easily than a slip of the tongue.
