Let's get personal
About Me
I am a writer, librarian, and occasional poet from the Greater New York Area. Currently, I spend my time as an academic, electronic resources librarian for an institute of higher education, as well as a spouse, parent, and all around regular individual attempting to navigate my way through this world (no easy task, as I'm sure you know).One of my biggest loves is writing. I love writing fantasy, science fiction, contemporary (sometimes paranormal) romance, and horror. Currently I'm working on a number of different works, and I can't wait to bring them to you all!
In general, I enjoy reading pretty much anything, though especially science fiction and supernatural adventures, and comfy romance novels. I'm also both a console and tabletop gamer, a frequent member of the #WritingCommunity on BlueSky and Instagram, a consummate introvert, and a nonbinary, genderfluid delight. I'm pronoun neutral, so anything goes, but she/they are what I hear the most.

CyberSnow
New Velles is a city built for the elite, for those who sit atop a capitalist throne while everyone beneath them has to beg for the scraps. No group carries more power and privilege than the Nieve family, owners of the Nieve Corporation.Bianca Nieve is the sole heir to the Nieve Corporation, forced to follow in her father's footsteps. She knows there's more to the corporation than wealth. There's the corruption, injustice, and cold-blooded adherence to profit over the lives of people as well. She wants nothing to do with it. Torn between loyalty to family and her own conscience, she finds her only solace in the relative anonymity of the net, secretly broadcasting the misdeeds of Nieve Corp under the guise of CyberSnow.Suddenly, Bianca finds herself a fugitive for a crime she didn't commit, a crime that could shake the very foundation of New Velles. Her only chance of survival lies in the dark corners of a city she has only ever seen from afar.Taja Soliño wouldn't call herself an enthusiastic part of the resistance in New Velles. She'd call herself someone who hates seeing regular people caught up in the twisted machinations of the city's corruption. That quickly changes when she decides to make a bit of her own "good" trouble. She accidentally invites chaos into her life by saving someone she thought was an innocent bystander caught in a crossfire. That someone turns out to be Bianca Nieve herself.Now Taja, Bianca, and those around them are thrust further into the steadily escalating conflict between the corruption that runs New Velles and the effort of the resistance to release the city from its oppressor.
