Tell us something about you personally we would never guess.

I’ve been skydiving twice and have 9 tattoos!

You mention you write for people who feel “less than, unimportant, or like they don’t belong”? What inspired you in that way?

I think there’s something to be said about finding books you relate to and make you feel at home. Reading for me has always been about losing myself in a world that makes me feel like I can call it my home. Home is a place that’s warm, welcoming, and inviting, which is something I always want my readers to feel whether that’s with me or my books.

You have said you started writing because of your love for reading, what is the most influential book to your writing style?

One of my all-time favorite books is Alice in Wonderland. It doesn’t necessarily influence my writing style, but I love the idea of escaping into another world, even if by accident.

What is your favorite personal genre to read?

My tastes range from hockey romance, to romantasy, all the way to any Dramione fanfic I can get my hands on!

What are you reading right now?

I just finished Daydream by Hannah Grace and devoured every second of it!

Besides your own books, who are your go-to authors and why?

I’ll read anything Hannah Grace puts out!

Which author are you most excited to see at Romantasy?

There’s so many authors that are attending that I look up to and can’t wait to meet in person! A few being V.B. Lacey, Penn Cole, RM Gray, Mary & Anne, and Hillary Raymer!

Are you an introvert or extrovert when it comes to big fan events like Romantasy and why?

I’m generally an introvert when it comes to needing time to reset and recharge, but when I get to hang out with readers and other authors, it brings the extrovert right out of me!

You have a great Etsy store, any fun things your fans will find at your Romantasy author table?

Some of the stickers in my Etsy store will be available to purchase at my table! There will also be an event special sticker that’s only able to be purchased while there.

If you could take one of your characters to the Romantasy Ball, who would it be and why?

I would absolutely take one of my side characters from Illuminance, Calix. He would make sure I have a fun time, be the talkative one with other people, and dance the night away with me.

What are you planning on wearing to the Romantasy ball?

Something flowy and silky so I can be comfy while I dance!

What do you have in store for readers in 2025?

There’s a lot in store for 2025! The next book release in The Unraveled Fate Series, as well as several book cons across the US.

Finally, a few “popcorn” questions: Disney or Universal? Sweet or salty? Night owl or early riser? Noble hero or reformed bad boy? Chocolate or vanilla? Dog or cat?

Disney, sweets all day every day, definitely a night owl (please don’t wake me up before 8am), reformed bad boy, dark chocolate, dogs!
