Professional editor, author, and short story writer; fantasy, sci-fi, horror, and dystopian aficionado; all around awesome weirdo
Collector of video and board games, comics/graphic novels, tattoos, shiny rocks and pretty bugs, anime, manga, and notebooks that can only be admired from afar and never actually used because they’re too pretty to write in.

Fascinated with the paranormal; an encyclopedia of weird knowledge; terrible to watch movies with because I love predicting the plot; fur mom to a 12-year-old, 16-lb tuxedo cat whose bowels may be a gateway to an inner circle of hell (judging by what comes out of there)

I ask only that you judge me not by the skyscraper-like TBR piles in every room of my house, but by the earnestness of my intent to read each book when I bought it
(…And the constant lie I feed myself that I’ll *definitely* get around to finishing them all to justify buying more)
