Note from the Author

Like many writers, I’ve devoured books since childhood. I always loved storytelling, the use and misuse of language and could happily hop into any etymology rabbit-hole until someone rescued me. Sneaking in episodes of The Twilight Zone when I was far too young and reading Candide before I understood it will always be mile markers in my writing journey.

I received my bachelors in Russian language/literature and International Relations and was enamored by the technical aspects of writing, but always sensed my prose was peering through the page just waiting to reveal itself. Soon after completing my Master of Law, I realized my academic career was overshadowed by a gnawing, persistent voice telling me to flesh out the bones of stories I’d scattered throughout notebooks over the years.

Tales of sundering, isolation, companionship, loss and hope permeate my writing. After a few months of listening to characters make their cases, THOSE WHO ARE INVITED IN was created to share their stories with you. You can discover this work on my Books Page. I can’t wait to build upon this world and inhabit it with more stories for you.
