I am a USA Today bestselling author and award-winning screenwriter who loves crafting vivid worlds, memorable characters, and stories that linger long after the last page.

With over 20 years in publishing, editing, and storytelling, I’ve ghostwritten and edited more than 65 novels and dozens of short stories for authors at publishers like Disney Hyperion, Tor, and Avon.

In addition to writing, I currently teach creative writing at two major universities. In the past, I’ve managed an international online publishing division, led large-scale publishing projects, and championed diverse voices across genres—from sci-fi and fantasy to horror, romance, and everything in between.

When I’m not at my desk, you’ll probably find me out in nature—camping under the stars, exploring new trails, or curled up with a good book by the campfire. I believe life’s best stories happen when you balance ambition with adventure, and I try to bring that same curiosity and energy to every project I take on.

I’m also in the process of opening a small bakery, where I hope to share my creative background in art and props with my community.

At the end of the day, I live for stories that spark imagination, connect people, and remind us there’s always another adventure waiting—whether on the page or out in the wild.
