I’m a fantasy author based in Vancouver, BC, Canada. When I’m not writing or reading, I sew my own clothing and play games on PC. My favourite video games are the strategy, survival, building types – especially those rich in lore and immersive world building. I’d by lying if I said the games I play never influence my writing! I used to think that inventing entire worlds and cultures in my head was something everybody did in their spare time. Then I realized this may or may not be a talent I should put to good use.
As a reader, I devour as many fantasy books as I can get my hands on, with the occasional diversion into science fiction or purely historical fiction. Genre-bending, trope-smashing and upside down perspectives are always welcome. I seek novelty and aim to create it in my own work. I’m an ‘oddball’ reader, who will seek out hidden gems that no one is talking about in preference to the big names of the moment.
