When I’m not crafting fantastical worlds or imagining daring adventures, you can usually find me curled up with a book, a cup of coffee and my cat, Salinger. I’ve lived in Portland, Oregon, my whole life, so I’m well-acquainted with rainy days, lush forest trails, and cozy library corners. My hobbies span the range from adult-ish (long runs through the woods) to downright whimsical (crafting tiny hats for my pets and convincing them to wear them). My debut series—a collection of four young adult fantasy novels inspired by my nieces—is packed with magic, mischief, and heart. I hope to keep spinning tales and chasing inspiration for as long as I can.
