I write stories about strange crows, Witches' Carnivals, and mushroom gods. My latest novel, Unleashed, deals with pets and monsters, trust and lies, all wrapped up in a werewolf love story.

Here, you can read an excerpt, find out more about me, and follow the progress of other writing projects on my blog.
