WELCOME to my online home! Here, you’ll find my latest news, announcements, and my treks into the ever vast and 
wickedly Weird/horror/spec-lit writing community that I’ve had the absolute pleasure of joining the ranks of since transplanting to Atlanta in 2013.
When not penning fiction that delves deep into the darkness of humanity, I am conjuring strange and delicious jarred concoctions with my small-batch cryptid-themed jam company THE CRYPTID CANNERY. Taste the terror!
Oh, and if you haven’t figured it out, I HEART MONSTERS!
