Welcome! If you’re new to my work, this page will help you give you a quick tour of the essentials. There’s more to explore, so feel free to wander as you like.
I write fiction set in the quiet, uncanny spaces where memory and folklore brush up against everyday life. You’ve passed these places before—a hollow in the trees, a stillness at the window, a choice you can’t unmake. You just never stayed long enough to learn what remained. These stories will show you.

I keep a small blog where I post thoughts, updates, and the occasional behind-the-scenes note.

Start with The Gap. It’s a standalone short story that introduces the themes and tone I explore in much of my writing.
You can find more pieces collected on the Stories page.
