Introduction
I'm an amateur military historian, a drinker of coffee and dry red wine, a cinephile, a hockey fan, a cat lady, and an all-around nerd. I like to travel. I also like books, philosophy, and political theory. I write historical fiction and fantasy, most of which deals with combat and conflict in the individual experience. My debut YA historical fantasy novel His Own Good Sword was released on 7 May 2013.
