I never set out to become an author. I started writing because I had something to say, even if I didn't always know how to say it out loud. Growing up in Chicago, I found inspiration in the people I met, the trains I rode, the conversations that lasted until sunrise, and the moments that changed everything without anyone realizing it at the time. My stories explore love, friendship, grief, identity, mental health, and the choices that shape our lives, all through characters who feel as real and imperfect as the people around us.

Today, I'm the founder of No Quit Publishing and the creator of the No Quit Universe, an interconnected collection of stories that includes Maybe It's Me, Love Me Later, Heroes & Villains, Love Is Hate, and Nothing Good Happens After Midnight. Every book I write is built around one goal: to create stories that make people feel seen, remembered, and understood. If someone closes one of my books thinking a little differently about themselves, the people they love, or the city they call home, then I've done exactly what I set out to do.
