Welcome!

I'm a fantasy writer, dark, urban and otherwise. I also write Lovecraftian romance, and occasionally very hand-wavey science fiction.

This is my official website, which mostly contains information about my writing projects and links to shiny things. I try to update regularly, as updateable happenings permit.

Though he is a person to whom things do not happen, perhaps they may when he is on the other side.
