Welcome to my little corner of Short Story Lovers!

Here, you’ll find a collection of my stories—quiet horror with a soft heart, rooted in folklore, forgotten places, and the strange, beautiful tension between the known and the unknown. My work explores the eerie, the tender, and the in-between.

I live with a nervous system disorder that causes my heart to race with even the smallest bit of physical effort. It’s slowed my body in ways I’m still learning to navigate, while my ADHD keeps my thoughts in constant motion, leaving me with plenty of time to get lost in my head. That contrast between stillness and chaos is where my stories come to life.

After fleeing an abusive relationship and getting diagnosed, I found myself unable to work and unsure of what came next. The uncertainty was overwhelming, but writing became my anchor. It helped me reclaim my voice, find clarity in the noise, and bring peace to places that once felt broken. I write from a place of softness, strangeness, and survival—and I’m truly grateful to share that with you.

When I’m not writing, I’m usually baking something sweet, listening to soft music, or thinking about the next story I want to tell.

Thank you so much for stopping by. If you’d like to follow along with what I’m writing next, please feel free to subscribe! It’s always a joy to have kindred spirits along for the journey. <3
