I write about crumbling kingdoms, unreliable narrators, and the fine line between divine destiny and total disaster. Whether chronicling the downfall of an empire built on paranoia and bad decisions or weaving deeply personal reflections in poetry and memoir, my work explores the beauty in chaos, the weight of history, and the stories we tell ourselves to survive.
When I'm not unraveling the political machinations of rats, orcs, and highly suspect aquatic aristocrats, I delve into the more intimate corners of storytelling-where memory and emotion tangle as much as fate and free will. My poetry pulses with longing and sharp edges, while my memoir work seeks to unearth the quiet truths hidden beneath the surface.
Somewhere between the absurd and the deeply human, my writing asks: what is power, really? What is legacy? And what, if anything, does it mean when the ground starts shifting beneath your feet?
(If you do hear something shifting, don't panic. Probably just the rats.)
