She doesn’t know whether this is bad or good, but since she works at a day job that has serious safety protocols, the author knows that she is not likely to be getting superpowers anytime soon. She instead prefers to get into a comfortable chair and come up with dangerous adventures for characters that she has made up that take place in worlds that exist far, far away.

The author also has her own website where she sends out newsletters. The newsletters reach their readers twice each month.

She has authored the Settler Chronicles as well as the Encoded Orbits trilogy. She also collaborated with other authors on the collection Bright Future and penned the 2023 novel Hope is the Thing with Feathers.
