I am a fantasy writer who specializes in female leads, treating all my characters like real people, letting my characters be ugly, and a serious lack of romance.

I was always that weird writer kid in the background, back to school season was like Christmas for me, and my teachers were constantly yelling at me to put the book down. So, really, I haven't changed much from then. I also have a habit of comparing writing to baking, I love video games and manga, and I buy at least one new book and one new notebook a month.

I haven't had anything published yet, but I've written several manuscripts I've trunked and I contributed to my college literary magazine, as both an author and as an editor.

I'm a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a bachelor's degree in English. I served as an editorial assistant intern for James Frenkel & Associates during my last year of college.

I recently joined the Absolute Write forums and Fantasy Writers United on Facebook.
