I like to imagine myself as a really cool person, but in reality I triple-tie my shoelaces and occasionally get chased through the streets by hostile cats.

So yeah, that's me. Welcome to my profile! This is where I put all the lovingly crafted bundles of crazy that I call my stories. I mostly write whatever the hell strikes my fancy at any given moment, but common trends in my work are a paranormal/fantasy focus, a nice dose of mystery, and lots of dark and scary things that I balance out with my peculiar sense of dry, witty humour.

I like wacky plots with plenty of twists and turns to keep you on your toes, complex characters who may or may not be actual train wrecks, laugh-out-loud moments and the occasional philosophical musing. If you have a fondness for those things as well, you're in exactly the right place!

My works [Completed]:

~The Dead Don't Speak (ONC 2020 honorable mention)
~Infamous Last Words (ONC 2021 honorable mention
~The Curse-breakers of Avondor
#WitchcraftWednesday (ONC 2023 winner; Wattys 2024 winner!)
~Baguette Rhymes with Dead (ONC 2024 shortlister)
#FreakshowFriday (Sequel to #WitchcraftWednesday)

I hope you'll consider giving my work a chance! That said, in light of Wattpad removing the DM features, I can be reached on Discord. Ask me about that sometime!
