My goals for myself have changed as my career has evolved and as I've grown as a writer.

Honestly, I think there's a cycle to the popularity of fantasy and fairytales that usually coincides with times of unrest or hardship in our own world. By retelling these legends or immersing ourselves in fantasy realms, we can safely explore the very real, very day-to-day darkness of our own lives.

I think of myself as a fantasy writer.

Once I fall in love, finishing a story leaves a hole in my heart. The characters become your friends.
