"There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed." -- Ernest Hemingway

Welcome to my profile! I survived a childhood in a conservative Christian cult and a soul-sucking decade writing copy for content mills! Who'd have thought it would affect my attitude?

I write literary, alt-history, and fantasy fiction stories. Currently seeking representation for my literary fiction novel, The Here and Now, as well as feedback on my next big project, the alt-history series Heir to Eternity.

Current Projects:
- The Here and Now
- Heir to Eternity
- After Oblivion
- Future History

My Current Read: The First Man in Rome by Colleen McCullough (masterpiece 💋🤌)
