Stories Forged in Ink & Ash — Tales of courage, memory, and the magic between us.
This is where stories take shape — in the heat of imagination, the grit of lived experience, and the quiet moments when a single line changes everything. Here you’ll find the worlds I’m building, the battles my characters fight, and the truths that surface when courage meets consequence.
If you’ve ever carried a story in your chest…
if you’ve ever stood at the edge of something new and felt the spark catch…
you’re in the right place.
Step inside.
The forge is glowing.
The work is underway.
And every tale starts with someone willing to lift the first hammer.

I’m revising The Witch’s Mandate and sketching the outlines of stories about courage, memory, and connection — the kind that linger long after the page turns. Between edits, submissions, and late-night sparks of inspiration, it’s been a steady season at the forge, shaping words meant to last.
