A passionate storyteller with an unflinching eye for the complexities of human connection, I craft romance novels that delve beneath the surface to explore the raw, gritty reality of love. My work examines the beautiful mess of human relationships—their jagged edges, uncomfortable truths, and transformative power.
Drawing inspiration from life's unfiltered moments, I create characters whose flaws and vulnerabilities make their journey to love all the more authentic and powerful. My narratives reject sanitized romance in favor of stories that acknowledge the struggle, pain, and ultimate triumph that comes with finding genuine connection in an imperfect world. When I'm not writing, I'm collecting experiences and observations that fuel my commitment to portraying love as it truly exists: complicated, intense, and ultimately worth every moment of the struggle.

Sometimes love has its own timeline.
I'm thrilled to finally share a glimpse of my upcoming novel, Love After Friday – a story that has lived in my heart long before it found its way to the page.
What happens when you meet the right person at the wrong time? Can a connection formed in just seven days survive five years of separation? And what does it take to bridge two fundamentally different worlds when fate offers an unexpected second chance?
When Seven Days Changes Everything
Set against...
Let’s talk about something messy, universal, and just a little too real: the anxious-avoidant trap. You know the one—where one person clings, the other bolts, and they both end up reenacting a dance choreographed by every unresolved childhood wound known to man.
Enter my new novel, Through the Gripevine.
(It’s like Normal People, but gayer and with slightly better communication. Slightly.)
At the heart of the story are Aaron and Daniel—two men who should not work together by any textbook...
This isn't a self-help book. It's a war cry for the creative who's still broke, bruised, and burning.
At 25, you're supposed to have answers.
A stable job. A clean apartment. A relationship that doesn't feel like a collapsing star. You're supposed to be "on your way"—to somewhere, to someone, to something that makes the chaos feel worth it. But what if you're not? What if all you've got is a notebook, a browser full of half-started submissions, a phone full of people you don't talk to anymore,...
Looking forward to an amazing year of reading ahead! These upcoming titles are definitely worth the wait:

Let’s be real—when people think of a “writer,” they either picture the manic coffee addict with Post-its on the mirror, or the zen minimalist with a color-coded Notion board and perfect lighting. I’m neither. I’m somewhere in the middle.
My process isn’t neat, but it works. And if you’re the type of writer who’s more vibe-driven than task-oriented, let me show you how I organize my work without losing my mind—or my voice.

I Write First. Organize Later.
I don’t start with outlines. I start...
I’ve written five books.
It sounds like a sentence that should feel victorious. It sounds like something you’d imagine a writer whispering to themselves in front of a mirror with bloodshot eyes and coffee-stained teeth. And maybe I have. But more than anything, it feels like something I survived.
Not just the writing. Not the early mornings or the late nights. Not the edits or the self-doubt or the unbearable weight of staring at a blank page knowing I was about to dig up parts of myself I had...
There's this weird silence that follows trauma—heavy, lingering, and I used to mistake it for peace. But beneath that quiet was a whole universe of stuff I hadn't dealt with, just waiting for me to finally look at it. My journey of evolving beyond trauma hasn't been some neat, Instagram-worthy transformation. It's been messy, contradictory, and sometimes felt straight-up impossible. Yet somehow, in this chaos, I've experienced the deepest changes of my life.
