Welcome to my site
If I could have one magical superpower, it would be to talk to animals. Or maybe to shift into animal form. Definitely, fantastical critters and magic often feature in my stories.

I am also passionate about fiber art, photography, children’s literacy, rescue animals, nature, and genre-bending fiction.
