A NEW supernatural thriller!

3 Quick FAQs

  • For 2024, I'm writing an all new class, World-building Through the Tarot, which will debut on Friday morning. Friday afternoon marks the return of everyone's favorite stitch-'n-bitch, Crafty Villainous. And of course, Saturday is yarn dyeing, 90's Pop in the morning and 90's Grunge in the afternoon. Check this page for the most current information!

  • It’s a supernatural thriller that doesn’t focus on vampires and/or werewolves! I love cryptid folklore, especially those rumored to be in and around the forests of North America. And, as a gender-queer, neuro-spicy writer I can approach this from a unique viewpoint that touches on the unique blend of cynical hope carried by many elder millennials — aka those scary GenX kids.

  • Currently, I am streaming weekdays 4-6 pm Eastern (1 pm Pacific, 9 pm British) over on Twitch. I run a pomodoro-style co-working stream. I set a timer, and together we work on our separate projects. Most often I am writing. Others cook, fold laundry, do homework, crochet, or build in Minecraft! In between work blocks, we take breaks, chat, and focus on self-care.

    Sometimes, I play The Sims 4 or Disney Dreamlight Valley.
