WELCOME TO MY DARK DELUSIONS & SWEET CHAOS My characters come to life abruptly, like monsters in the dead of night. Without invitation or remorse. I discovered my love for books and storytelling at an early age. I immediately identified that my one true calling was to fall head over heels for the villain or antihero—because why settle for a straightforward love story when you can have emotional chaos and character flaws to unpack? Red flags? Oh, I see them, I love them… and sometimes I turn them into cute little pink flags for my collection. When I am not drowning in Chai tea lattes and hot Cocoa (because sweet drinks are my spiritual guide) or trying to figure out how to marry fictional characters, I can be found in my home library, obsessing over book boyfriends who exist only to ruin my standards for real-life men. I write, illustrate, and collect books, hoarding every romance novel that promises a happily ever after or at least a dramatic love triangle with a villain who makes me weak in the knees. My bookcases and head are so full of literary bad boys that they practically need a warning label: Enter at your own risk.
