About

I write and executive produce the award-winning audio drama The Strange Case of Starship Iris as well as Keep It Steady. I also write for Unwell: A Midwestern Gothic Mystery, and in my spare time I write prose and songs. My work has been highlighted on the Onion AV Club, and featured on NPR. My latest project is YA sci-fi mystery novel Stars, Hide Your Fires (Quirk Books).
