About Me

a black and white photo of my desk and my old laptop and my since-departed cat Beanie crowding into the laptop as she glares at me for trying to work

I am a somewhat absentminded, often distracted, writer of queer romance, probably most known for the Being(s) in Love series and the occasional story about witches or firefighters in love. 

I've been writing romance professionally for over ten years, both with a publisher and self-published, and have been interviewed for USA Today's HEA feature, as well as nominated for a Tiptree Award (as the Otherwise Awards were then known). I have books available in English, German, Italian, and French. 
​
I live among the coastal redwoods of Northern California in a tiny house with one loud black cat and one possible ghost. You can generally find me with either a cup of coffee or a cup of tea next to me that I have forgotten about and has long since gone cold. For pronouns, she works or they works; honestly, gender is weird and I got tired of thinking about it. Calling me neither is nice sometimes too. Idk. Don't worry about it. (It's like, am I aro? What shade of ace am I? Biromantic? idk, buddy, I just say queer. It's faster and involves less thinking.)

I'm very easy to contact, though anxiety and my schedule sometimes delay a response for a few days. Check out the links below for my soc med links, or feel free to use the contact form here. You can also find me on BookBub and Storygraph.

I support libraries and affordable reading choices, so my ebooks are available through several distributors. A monopoly hurts all of us. 


If you are a professional reviewer of ebooks or audiobooks, I can sometimes offer free copies. Just contact me!
