I was raised on Hercule Poirot, Sherlock Holmes, and Harry Potter. I write as I read: a mixture of mystery, fantasy, and a touch of romance. No matter the genre, I love researching and developing the little details that make a story come alive. I write the books I wish I could find, with immersive world-building, characters with defined, diverse voices, and fresh perspectives on classic ideas.
