Bio
I am nursing student, a mother and a bunny enthusiast. I have loved writing for as long as I can remember. I have completed one novel in my life, but I have a habit of growing out of my material quickly and moving on to something new.

Somebody Else's Pregnancy Test
I was always the type of child who felt compelled to rigidly follow the rules. I did not lie. I did not cheat. I became incredibly stressed out if I looked over my mom’s shoulder while she drove and saw that she was going a few miles above the speed limit. I had exceedingly strict parents, and was given extreme punishments, even for suspected infractions which never occurred anywhere outside of my mother’s mind.

A Single Birth for a Thousand Deaths
Bloom is so often harsh toward me, but I sensed the moment I met him that he needed help. He was spiraling quickly enough to be noticed and rejected by a community with no future. My help was probably not what he needed, specifically, but his endless consumption of dark liquor, and his impatience for thoughts produced by any mind other than his own, did not leave him with an especially large social circle, or any at all, as far as I could tell. As I repeatedly refilled his glass and slid it across the bar, he spoke of his life’s mission. His claims, if taken at face value, would leave a person with the assumption that, until recently, all of humanity was depending upon him to save us. Though, as far as I could tell, this bipedal group of self-righteous monsters stepped off of the cliff’s edge a very long time ago.
