About me

Gender	Female
Location	Pacific Northwest, United States
Introduction	I'm a writer and a witch who loves nature, yarn crafting, and baking. I have a highly creative brain, many hobbies, and an obsession with reading. I've been married since 2011 after a whirlwind courtship that lasted six months, and we have a tuxedo cat we adore.
Interests	Writing, knitting, crochet, cross-stitch, and nature photography. I'm a Jane Austen nut, I love period dramas, and have an odd fascination for true crime even though I have anxiety that imagines the worst-case scenario of everything. I love to bake, especially bread, and a moderate joy in cooking.
