Fiction
I write slice-of-life novels and short works with LGBTQIA+ characters (and the occasional straight people thrown in for good measure). Yes, that is inclusive. While it may be trendy or tempting to brand oneself as a writer of “LGBTQ” books while only featuring one or two of those letters, that is not what I do.
Typically, I write with an adult audience in mind, which means that there may be swearing or sex. I don’t shy away from giving conservative religion a good, hard punch in the kidneys. My work sometimes contains content of a sensitive nature. When it does, individual stories will carry a warning so readers may choose to avoid adult material or potentially triggering content.
Because of who I am—a bisexual genderqueer person from an interfaith family, living with chronic illness—this permeates my fiction. I exist in the spaces in between, where there are no clear sides to pick or answers to give. Therefore, so do my characters and stories.

Sometimes I use this space to put down my thoughts about my writing process and what drives it. For me, that’s typically a combination of my ideology and my idealism. I see the world as often a harsh place, but my personal values drive me toward hope for something better. I may comment on why I write what I do or where I see holes in good representation of diversity in fiction.
In between updates on my latest work, I post about various other topics such as social issues, faith, life, my kids, and random things that catch my fancy.
I hope you’ll stick around to check everything out!
