5 Things You Should Know About Me:

1) I don’t believe in rating books, so all the reviews I leave on Goodreads will be 5 stars. Happy birthday to all authors, I guess.

2) I’m the proud creature of two wonderful cats.

3) I don’t believe in choosing between a great plot and great characters. Readers deserve both. But if I had to choose, I’d choose characters.

4) Don’t open a book of mine until you’ve checked the content warnings on The Story Graph.

5) Storytelling is magical. I sincerely believe that creating makes us better humans. Part of that process is connecting with readers, so reach out to me. I’ll answer you, and I’ll be glad to hear from you.

Finally, as to the sort of books that I like--let's just say that if a talented author rips ou
