Writer Bio
Clarion 2013. Currently growing a lot of nightshades in Minneapolis/St. Paul.
Writing Style
I like to find an emotion and make people feel it as hard as I can. I like fannish protagonists and xenolinguistics. I like kids dealing with hard life stuff they don't have words for yet, and also dealing with the inevitable [insert speculative fiction element here, ideally something to do with unspeakable body/mind horror]. Every story contains at least one reference to Elisabeth Sladen.
Writing Goal
Write 1000 words of either outline or filling in the outline each day for my work-for-hire project. Write 100 words of fanfic or fun things on days when the prospect of the work-for-hire project makes me want to scream.

The lenguas don’t go into her shop unless they have to; it’s too loud there. A riot of cinnamon, splashed with lavender, bursts of olive oil and bacon fat, lemon cutting across almond and chiles anchos and dates stewed with ginger—and all of it against the background of burning sugar. Imagine walking through a word salad, disembodied voices screeching stray tense markers while others whisper gerunds and datives, and occasionally croon an eerie accidental sentence.
