She loves pizza, is BFFs with The Chicago Manual of Style, and has a mild case of hyphenitis.

You can find some of her shorter work in magazines like Switchback and The Common‘s Dispatches section, or in anthologies like Answers I’ll Accept: True Accounts of Online Dating. The first section of her illustrated sci-fi novella, Jenny & The Labyrinth, will be released in two parts starting this December over at Monthly Fiction. Her first novel, Comforts We Despise, is forthcoming from Zoozil Media in 2017.
