I was born in small-town Milton, Florida, but life as a roving military kid soon mellowed my (unintelligibly strong) Southern accent. Wanderlust is in my blood, and I’m always waiting for the wind to change. Stories remain my constant.

I received my BA in English with an emphasis in Creative Writing from Berry College. From Bath Spa University, I received her MA with honors in Writing for Young People and my Ph.D in Creative Writing with my thesis Breaking the Curse: Retelling a Folk Fairy Tale to Explore Trauma and Healing in Novels for Young People. My award-winning debut THE ELEVENTH TRADE came out in 2018, followed by my second book THE INVISIBLE BOY (2020).

I love crafting, cozy video games, and going on adventures with my nerdy husband and mischievous dog. I now live in the magical land of Wales.

My next book ALL THE QUEENS’ CURSES releases in August 2026.
