I read widely and experiment with many genres, but comedy and fantasy fiction hold special places in my life. Growing up between cultures, I often felt rootless. In the pages of Narnia, The Hobbit, and Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell, I found characters who experienced a sense of unbelonging–characters who struggled to navigate the liminal spaces and cultural conflicts of their worlds. It felt like coming home.
Today, I enjoy writing stories that recreate that strange homecoming. My emphasis has changed from epic fantasy to lighthearted comedic tales that will appeal to readers who feel burnt out by the past few years of growing global grossness.
To sample my writing, you can find short stories and information about my completed novels in the Fiction drop-down menu. Please sign-up for my newsletter, and contact me with questions or comments!
