If you'd like to know more about any of the stories on this page, or about my writing in general, chances are you can find out more about them on my general blog, The Road of a Writer.

The plotbunnies and writing projects are practically endless around here, but these are my current main works in progress (WIPs).

The Other Half of Everything

A young housekeeper. An absentminded writer. Untold worlds.

Meridian Brownley avoids writers like the plague.

This is unfortunate, since she finds herself the housekeeper for an absentminded young writer named Teague, who has strange relatives and an infuriating habit of forgetting to eat unless Meridian cooks for him.

And an even worse habit of disappearing for days.

Until one time, he takes Meridian with him.
