Confession time. I'm addicted to speculating. There, I've said it. Send help. On any given day, you'll most likely hear me say, 'What If...' followed by some far-fetched theory. To keep my friends and family from throttling me I've turned my more persistent wacky thoughts into stories. You're welcome.

On a more serious note, I'm a proud biracial Welsh Bajan which gives me the superpower of not just seeing black and white but also the shades in between. I moved to Australia as a child and enjoyed a free-roaming childhood in a remote desert town and my teen years on an island in Papua New Guinea. I now call the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia home where I live in an off-grid tiny homestead in a forest with an eco-architect and theme park designer, and Sir Ollie Monster a cat who plays like a dog and loves to cuddle. When I’m not writing, I love to dance, play freestyle frisbee, and explore the natural world, sometimes all at once. 

A few random facts about me:

• I love onomatopoeia words (and alliteration always and affectionately). 
• I’m ridiculously gullible—tell me anything and I’ll believe it (◔_◔).
• I do a good unintentional pun. 
• I’m around 62% fickle—wait, make that approximately 76%.... I think.
• Do I contradict myself—Um, yes—I am large, I contain multitudes.
• Have rope, will tie self to tree.
• Current overused punctuation: the em dash.
• My greatest accomplishment is that I once kept the same hair tie for an entire week!
• There's a good chance that I'm not entirely normal.
