Shirley Jackson Award Finalist
What? I know. It’s been almost a month but typing this still feels surreal. If anyone had told me last year that I’d be nominated for a couple of prestigious awards (3, but who’s counting) I would have laughed in their faces. But I am immensely grateful. Writing is a lonely task, and it really […]

BTS #2: Guardian of the Gods
Here’s a brief rundown of how I wrote this story. There’s potential spoilers here, so if you haven’t read it, and don’t want to be spoiled, go here. A question was all that really set off this story: what happens if men gained such power as to rival that of the gods? What happens if […]
