Bio
Welcome! I'm a writer based out of Los Angeles and I write primarily about the paranormal, but also write poetry and some non-fiction essays. I'm hoping that my work will inspire curiosity--and maybe get you to laugh sometimes! Enjoy!

One Step at a Time
With a warning glare from the curator, I allowed the last tour group for the morning to walk around the chapel unattended. I disappeared between the out-of-towners snapping pictures of the chapel to upload to their Facebook accounts and the students from the nearby community college (in a former house of worship, I prayed some of the cute guys were at least eighteen—I had just turned twenty-four) at least feigning interest for participation points. I had honestly tried to hang in there with that job, but the combination of my curator’s obsession with making his tour guides follow a strict scripted speech and people’s inability to appreciate a Gothic church in the middle of the desert, I kept applications to museums in Albuquerque in my locker. I soaked the image of Our Lady of Light chapel and its Miracle Staircase even deeper into my skin; the only miracle I would have believed in then would be a reason to stay.

The Last Rose of Summer
“ACHOOO!” If I were a sidekick (because let’s face it, librarians wouldn’t make good super heroes), this would be the tagline: Here comes Snot Man and his trusty sidekick, Tissue Man! Saving the city from allergies, one tissue at a time! Here I was saving the world from allergies, but who would save me when I succumb to hay fever?
