About Me



Bisexual. Feminist. Cat Mom. She/ Her. Published Writer. Duolingo Obsessed. Ultimate Fangirl. Borderline Personality Disorder. 

I used to be in law school. I'm not anymore. 

I juggle bills, a job, my studies, my writing, and trying to keep my head above water.

I write all the time, everywhere. I'm always working on my novels and my blog. Writing is life, just as reading is oxygen. 

My book of poetry is out now.

For once the silence has retreated and is content to watch from the top row of the bleachers. For once there's no raining on the court while the ball's in play. There's a rose that lies at the back of my locker, wilted and fading away. It's a rose I don't expect to see in bloom again. It's a rose I've put aside, but one I cannot bear to throw away. Perhaps I should consign it to the bonfire I've made in my backyard, out of all the relics from the past. Perhaps keeping it in my locker is dangerous, for it might bloom again. Roses such as this one have been known to bloom more beautiful than before, long long after they withered away into nothing more than thin brown sticks and faded and detached petals. And in my excitement, I might just reach out and grab it again, forgetting th...
