about my trilogy
Why I write: Dystopian, a gripping genre of contemplation and motivation
Dystopian fiction allows us to step into the combat boots of those who have to fight for what they believe in. It's a genre which gives us fresh eyes to see what isn't right about the world, to make up our minds what needs to be done about it, and to decide what we're willing to sacrifice to bring about change. It provides a mirror to reflect on our beliefs and convictions--which is both intimidating and beautiful. I write dystopian to bring readers together in thoughtful reflection of why we do what we do, and to deliver an unforgettable story with richly developed characters in the process.
What I write: Tropes and themes to expect
True to my genre, you'll find: overbearing government and a rebel resistance; themes of hope in the darkness, daring to be different, and fighting for what you believe in. You'll also find life-threatening secrets, ingroups vs outgroups, slow-burn romance, and redemption arcs for characters who are utterly human.
How I write: My Style
My writing is described as character-driven, vivid, honest, and thoughtful. I care deeply about preserving the art of classic literature while delivering my story in a way that resonates with readers now. The result is a minimalist style balancing poetic prose with raw conversation about real life.
