Unlike my characters, I am not an assassin, but I am the seventh of eleven children, and thus am uniquely qualified to write a story involving the complexities of sibling relationships. I am a paramedic and physician assistant. I have spent the last few years trying desperately to keep my many COVID patients alive and writing in my spare time; a welcome escape from the true horrors of the pandemic. When not reading, writing, or working I can be found banjo playing, field herping, foraging, hiking, camping, or riding my mule, Lina.
