As a freelance writer and editor, I do a lot of work in journalism, advertising, and content development, but my real passion is for fiction. To that end, I'm rather fond of the script writing work I do for mobile and independent video games, where I can dream up things like, "Then the dragon statue comes to life and swallows the spider monster whole" and there's a room full of artists and programmers asking, "Should the whole statue come to life, or just one of the six heads?" (My Museum Story). I've developed a bit of a reputation in that industry for pouring my heart and soul into every project, when others in my position might have phoned it in. While that's served me well for video games, it broke my heart when I was ghost writing. I'm happy to see some of my novels, such as Her Bear in Mind, receive such stellar reviews, but I can no longer bear to see someone else's name on my work. So while I continued to get paid to write about the lack of skilled nursing care for local veterans and for adapting novels into scripts with branching dialogue, I started writing novels under my own name. My first book with my name on the cover, The Fairy Thief, was published in March of 2023.
