I started writing during my ongoing recovery from long-covid. Before I got sick, I was always busy making things—businesses, painting, DIY, sewing—constantly creating. But when my body no longer had the energy for that, I turned to words. Writing became the only creative outlet I had left and, unexpectedly, the one that saved me.
Then came the grief. Two family deaths, back to back, and suddenly the world felt too sharp, too heavy. That’s when I found Fantasy Romance. Not just as a reader, but as an escape artist. I needed dragons. I needed slow-burn yearning. I needed to slip into someone else’s skin, even for a little while, and breathe through their battles instead of my own.
I’ve always loved puzzles—games, escape rooms, murder mysteries. And when I started writing, I wanted to build stories that felt like that: immersive, layered, a world you could lose yourself in.
