I was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia. I was homeschooled through high school, and graduated summa cum laude from the University of West Georgia in December 2013 with a BA in History and Political Science. I currently teach middle- and high-school English at Evangelical Christian Academy in Madrid, Spain.

My primary research interest is in the intersection of Christianity and the Imperial Roman army. My academic writing has focused on religious practices in the army, and on pre-Augustinian Christian attitudes toward war and military service. Other areas of interest include the World Wars, particularly resistance and partisan movements in Ukraine, Poland, and Italy during World War II.

I write historical fiction and fantasy, almost always against a backdrop of war and political upheaval. I am a member of the Historical Novel Society. My writing is represented by Lane Heymont of The Tobias Agency.
