For me, the most crucial element in a story is uncertainty. More than just having a plot that’s hard to predict, I love a tale with a real sense of danger. Because when we follow characters, we identify with them. We grow attached to them. We want some to succeed and to be happy while we want others to fail and get what they deserve. And it’s the knowledge that those things may not occur, that shadow of what is not guaranteed, that keeps my heart racing and has me unable to put down my favorite books.

I grew up in Dunstable, Massachusetts and now live in Manchester, New Hampshire. I graduated Saint Anselm College in 2019, where I met some life changing friends who weren’t bothered by my strangeness and helped get me out from time to time like an awkward accessory. Within limits, of course, as I’m a quintessential geek.

I draw and paint figures (poorly), in my free time and enjoy stories in pretty much every medium. I enjoy books, comics, TV and games of all sorts, and have been wanting to write my own for as long as I can remember. It’s taken time, effort, and a lot of encouragement, but I’m ready to share that, and hope everyone can feel the same enjoyment that I do.

For anyone who has a goal of their own, writing or otherwise, I encourage you to find people who will support you in whatever that is. Surround yourself with them, because they will make you a better version of yourself. And if they can raise your blood pressure, all the better.
