Great literature exists at the cusp of intellect and emotion. Ever since I learned to write and began creating stories, I’ve striven to practice my craft in that place where the power of knowledge meets the power of feeling and the awakening of all the senses; where intelligence helps us understand what’s right in the world and what isn’t, and emotion moves us to act.
They say writers always write the same story over and over again. I believe mine is about searching and finding: one person or thing that reveals something unexpected about ourselves and the world; one’s own past, future, cultural identity or language.
My stories are alive with place, language and identity, exploring how home shapes us, how we inhabit it or long for it. I lean into playfulness and unpredictability, shunning naturalism in favor of a world where magic seeps in on its own. Even in familiar settings, my work surprises and twists reality in ways that feel both impossible and inevitable.
