Deze auteur begon op veertienjarige leeftijd met schrijven, geïnspireerd door een verhaal over een meisje dat zich verveelde in de klas, maar dan op een school voor tovenarij. Sindsdien verweeft ze haar levenservaringen – van frustraties over alfamannetjes tot extreme weersomstandigheden in Japan – in haar fantasyromans. Na eerste ervaringen met traditionele publicatie ontdekte ze het plezier van self-publishing, wat haar inspireerde om door te gaan met schrijven. Haar hedendaagse werk onderzoekt nu kritisch gangbare romantische tropen als misbruikgedrag, met als doel de prevalentie van schadelijke narratieven binnen het genre aan te pakken.
