Welcome to my author website!
I Write Short Stories about Moments that Change Everything
Stories to Discuss
I write modern love stories, where the ordinary meets the extraordinary.
Told through contemporary realism, magical realism, and allegory.
For Book Clubs
These stories are a great choice for book clubs. They read fast, but contain as much to discuss as a novel. I definitely encourage book clubs to give them a try!
If your group is in Seattle or online, you can also arrange for me to show up at your meeting.
