Hello! Nice of you to stop by.
I've always loved writing, but it was entering NYCM in 2017 that really re-sparked my desire to tell stories. I've had some success in the last few years with contests, and hope to take the leap into subbing to lit mags and maybe, finally, starting that fantasy novel I've had percolating in my head for years.
