I live on the beautiful island of O’ahu. I drink a lot of coffee, read a lot of books, and have a lot of tattoos. As a neurodivergent author, my dream characters and scenarios involve complex people, emotional wounds, normalizing nurturing those things that make us unique, and the magic of finding the person who sees all of you and still wants more.
