About the AuthorI write about the things we don’t always know how to name
I’m the author of the forthcoming memoir, (A)sexual Liberation (Third Rail Press). I write about identity, independence, creativity, intentionality, and the messy middle of becoming yourself.
I also write horror fiction where things get weird (in the best, bloody way) and poetry that tries to say what prose can’t.
