Finding Grace in the ICU Life has a funny way of reminding us that no matter how carefully we make our plans, we're never quite the ones holding the pen. If you'd asked me how I imagined this season of my life unfolding, spending a week in the ICU w...

Returning to Kira’s Cyberpunk World There’s something special about returning to a story that never really left your heart. When I first wrote Neon Shadows, I was stepping into unfamiliar territory. Cyberpunk wasn’t my comfort zone—it was neon-lit a...

This Mother’s Day finds me once again sitting with the memory of my late mother. For a long time, I believed grief would always arrive like a storm—heavy, unforgiving, impossible to carry without breaking beneath it. But somewhere along the years, t...

International Women’s Day The reflection of all the women I’ve come across in my life feels nothing short of witnessing many lifetimes unfold across different timelines. I often think of my mother first. A woman who lived through a holocaust—mass gr...
