Writer. Revising my upmarket domestic suspense novel. Sitting on a YA fantasy series. Both feature complex female protagonists and healing from trauma.

You ever just do the math and wonder how many Marvel movies you'll live to see? Some of you are going to make it past the year 2,100. That's gotta be close to 400 films if they keep it going. #showerthoughts
