Who I Am
Writer. Poet. Wanderer. Misfit. Night owl. Sri Lankan-Hungarian-American. Artist. Storyteller. Gemini Sun with a Pisces Moon. INFJ. Mom.
I’m a biracial author and mom who obsesses over travel, relishes getting lost in a good book, and always stays up too late. I love spooky stories, atmospheric films, rooftop views, blue lipstick, autumn skies, strong coffee, live oaks, beach bonfires, and cool breezes. I was born in Northeast Ohio but my soul is from the Lowcountry.
My writing is frequently gothic and often explores themes of identity, grief, isolation, and intersectionality. My stories are peopled with Sri Lankans, queers, Hungarians, ghosts, Southerners, outcasts, and wanderers.
