The Sweetest Thing In All My Life Has Been The Longing To Find The Place Where All Beauty Came From.”
- C.S. Lewis

I’ve always loved animals, the ocean, and fairytales...

Idaho raised me tough… but deprived me of my one true love, the sea! Which is why I moved to the Oregon coast in 2019. Since then, I’ve traveled across the country, and even spent a month in Germany. Nowhere else felt quite like home, and in early 2022 I returned to my sweet ocean town.

Writing for as long as I can remember, I self-published my first book in 2018. A non-fiction work of inspiration titled Embrace Yourself: Finding Freedom in Acceptance. My second book, another non-fiction work titled Raped, Not Ruined was released in 2019.

In 2022, I revisited a retelling of Beauty and the Beast I’d originally drafted years earlier at a much different point in my life. Inspired by my beautiful new home and all I’d seen in the world during my two years of travel, I published Crystal Belle and dove into what would become the Retold Fairytales series — a series of books drawing inspiration classic fairytales and old Disney stories of my childhood, and introducing something new to the fairytale world with a feminist LGBTQ+ inclusive spin.

While you wait for the next book, come join me in my journey on Instagram.

Thank you so much for being a part of my journey here. I hope you enjoy my stories and find a healing path for your mind to wander down while you visit my world in writing.

It’s a joy and an honor that you share time out of your one precious life to appreciate the art I’ve created.
