About Me<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I love writing stories that dive deep into human emotions, psychology, and social conflict. My narratives are heavily inspired by mythology and history, mainly from ancient Greece. I host the Augusta Writer’s Critique Group, and I have a podcast, where I read-aloud my stories and novels, and you can listen along for free!
