About


I’m an ADHD, autistic, dyslexic hot mess who believes monsters deserve their happily ever afters — probably because I’ve always related to the villains more than the heroes.

I write from Australia, fueled by hyperfixation, caffeine, and dark humor. When I’m not writing, I’m probably arguing with my characters, reorganizing my TBR, or forgetting to eat because the chapter got interesting.

If you’ve ever been the weird goth kid, the one who people said was ‘too much’, who roots for the monster, or who said “I can fix them” about a fictional villain, you’re my people. This is a safe place for you readers who grew up on Buffy and Anne Rice. Neurodivergents who hyperfixate on fictional hotties. People who picked up that ‘Big Gold Book’ about Egypt or Greek myths when they were kids, and it changed their brain chemistry (or who looked at a picture of Anubis and thought ‘smash’). Hi, welcome, I love you.
