I do what I want.
A BRIEF GLIMPSE OF ME...
I am a fantasy author, designer, podcaster, and all around silly person. I write two different dark fantasy book series: The Raashan Series and the Lost Beacon Chronicles. Romantic subplots are a staple in my writing, especially in my Raashan Series.
I have a degree in history, with specializations in the ancient Etruscans and medieval Britain. History and mythology are continuous inspirations for my writing, so you'll even get some fun history to rattle off at parties when you read my books.
The Raashan Series is an epic dark fantasy series with inspired romantic subplots that begins with the world of Raashan in a state of post apocalyptic chaos in To Save a World.
Spare the Swallow is the origin story of the Lost Beacon Chronicles, which is a historical dark fantasy series that follows the unwilling immortal, Lucretia, as she wanders the earth in search of her purpose.
The podcast I Do What I Want! is basically just me talking through my personal writing journey, occasionally chatting with friends about books, sharing short stories, and my life as an author in general. It's funny. You should listen.
I also collaborate with fellow fantasy author, Elara Dunn, on the podcast, The Banshee Energy Show! Wackiness ensues. It's a WAIL of a good time!
I design most of my own book covers and page layouts, as well as occasionally designing covers for fellow authors, like the award winning poetry book Behind Her City Eyes by Sarah Erin.
Also, I love cheese.
