I am a resident of the Pacific Northwest and, by default, a lover of mountains, oceans, hiking, nature… yada yada. I spend my spare time making short films, taking intimate photographic portraits, training for marathons, and riding my li’l Suzuki motorcycle. I make it a point to avoid all the horrible news and instead watch all the romantic movies (I love you, Nora Ephron!). And I’m currently bingeing my way through every swoony K-drama ever made, for, you know, research. As a writer, I am a fan of feisty, curvy heroines who are struggling to find their place in the world, and of complicated men who give them the appreciation and adoration they deserve.
