Book content warnings
Young Adult Books
While my YA books are works of fantasy fiction, they are grounded in many aspects of our world and address concerns about our reality. Though they cover some serious topics, my hope is that they will ultimately be a fun and enjoyable read. To enable that, I want to give a brief summary of things in the books that might be emotionally draining or difficult to engage with, depending on your own lived experience.
There are certainly topics I am affected by, some of which have been unpacked in my writing, so if any resonate with you I send my love and best wishes. Be gentle with yourself, and please take care of yourself – whether that involves talking to a loved one, a trusted adult, a doctor or referring to another resource – and know that you are not alone.

Adult Fiction
My adult fiction deals with darker themes in a more explicit and prominent way than my Young Adult books. I'm interested in exploring complex and at times twisted sides of humanity, though I hope these themes are examined in stories that are absorbing, immersive and, at times, satirical and irreverent.
Some topics might be personally impacting and as I would like readers to feel comfortable engaging with my books, I've listed these below.
