Hello,

I am an American writer and poet now based in Queensland, Australia. My work has appeared or is forthcoming in Eye to the Telescope, Nocturne Magazine, and Altitude Press.

I hold a Masters in History and am currently at work on my first novel, Natural Neon, a cyberpunk speculative noir set in Miami, 2097, exploring debt, desire, and the uneasy intersections of technology and the soul journey.

I am drawn to the eerie, the mythical, the historical, and the weird. When not writing, I enjoy reading, people watching, and exploring far off places.

Publications
