About Me

About Me

I’m a law student, I’ve spent most of my life in the mid west and I’m looking forward to running away somewhere as soon as I graduate. I spend most of my free time writing horror novels with strong queer women characters. Very occasionally I can be found playing the piano or irish flute (badly). I love to cook and I’m a vegan at home and a vegetarian in social settings. I have mad crochet skills. I live with my two rabbit friends, Katie and Spencer, who I adore and talk about pretty constantly.
