So… we meet at last!

When I was a little girl, I didn't want to be a doctor or an astronaut, and I definitely didn't want to be a writer. I was going to be an Egyptologist, and that was that.

One day, while working as a library aide at my elementary school, 10-year-old me picked up a beat-up book called The Reluctant God by Pamela F. Service (who wouldn’t with that cover?). The story wasn't long, but it had a time-traveling Egyptian prince and a plucky, strong-willed girl who came together to solve the mystery and save the day. It inspired me.

These days I work in the glamorous world of HR, and at night I write love stories. A far cry from being an Egyptologist, but at least nobody is cursed… probably.

Unsolicited Lore About Me

I wrote my first book in 2nd grade — a gripping tale about a lion and an otter becoming best friends while investigating a mysterious theif. It remains unpublished. The world wasn’t ready.

When I was 12, a tornado destroyed my house. We survived by huddling in our underground cellar (yes, it was full of spiders), which is a very humbling way to discover you're not the main character.

I have logged over 1000 hours in Final Fantasy 14 in the last year. That's more time than I've spent with some family members. I would do it again.
