About Me 

I traded the cornfields of Iowa for the historical cobblestones of Europe, for the colorful temples of South Korea, for the moody pines of the Pacific Northwest, where I currently reside. Now, I thrive in queer community and attend as many BTS concerts as I can afford. Though I’ll never stop chasing new adventures in foreign countries.

I speak 2.5 languages

I was married to Jesus as a teen (we got an annulment)

I'm a proud member of the BTS Army fandom

I'm SCUBA certified

A queer author writing queer romance and living her best live, laugh, lesbian life.

I've visited 30+ countries


I love calligraphy and hand lettering
