Fiction & Current Projects
In my fiction, I write the books and characters I wanted to see when I was young. The people in my stories are queer, neurodivergent, strong-headed types of all shapes and sizes who go after what they want. They may inhabit this world or fantastical worlds of fairies or spaceships, but they’re always self-possessed and drive the story forward with their own bold choices.
