  1. Wow, that's a lot of blades. :) I write contemporary, but this is still interesting. What's your story about?

    1. Hi! I write mainly speculative fiction. My current project is a fairy tale retelling set in a medieval fantasy world. I have dabbled in the past in Science Fiction and paranormal.
