The Story So Far...

You'll often find me sporting a dreamy, far-off look or with my nose stuck in a book. I pursue stories relentlessly, seeking out the best and brightest in the sci-fi and fantasy genre. Books, movies, TV, music, stage productions...I gobble them all up with a bookwormish fervor. 

I write critical analysis and pop culture lists for Tor.com.


You can find my book reviews and various explorations of storytelling at The Quill To Live: Your guide to every world but this one.

In April 2020, a sudden-but-welcome job change spurred me to don the freelance gauntlets and try my hand as a pen for hire. Since relinquishing my grip on the corporate torch, I've joined the ranks of Catena Media as a contributing writer and iGaming Business North America as a features writer.

The gambling industry pays the bills, but now I'm actively on the hunt for projects that overlap with my passions. Here's a small smattering of my favorite things:

  • Science fiction and fantasy books

  • Reality competition shows (current faves: RuPaul's Drag Race and Survivor)

  • Video games 

  • Dungeons & Dragons

  • Strategy and board games

  • Cats (I've got two of 'em)

  • Music: playing, listening, live shows, I love it all

  • Broadway musicals

  • Sports betting

  • Technology and gadgets
