My fiction weaves compelling, character-driven stories that explore complex human emotions and relationships, often with a blend of humor, raw honesty, and vivid imagery. From the heartfelt defiance and cultural pride in A Star Doesn’t Shine, It Burns to the humorous yet poignant tension of everyday life in Roomies, my narratives aim to immerse readers in worlds where the extraordinary exists within the ordinary. Whether it's a shrimp questioning inherited beliefs, a quiet moment in a motel before chaos erupts, or the charged silence of a historical reckoning, I strive to balance authenticity with creativity. My characters aren’t just people; they’re reflections of life’s contradictions, bursting with resilience, flaws, and undeniable charm.
