The Long Version
I’ve always been drawn to the space between things — between light and shadow, memory and myth, who we are and who we pretend to be.
The stories I write live in those spaces. They ask what happens when the world forgets you, and what it costs to remember who you are.
It took me a long time to discover who I truly was and where I belonged. Perhaps it’s no surprise, then, that my stories return again and again to the same themes of identity, destiny, belonging, the choices that define us and the price they demand.
Belonging is the story we all tell — I just write it in other worlds.
I started writing when I was ten, beginning with poems (in French, and very dramatic). But In Between was always my favourite project, the one I could disappear into when life felt too heavy around me.
It began long before I called myself a writer. At my family’s lake house in Canada, my little sister and I ran through the woods and wove stories out of wind and water. Our games became worlds. The characters that appeared were fragments of myself — echoes of who I was, who I feared to be, and who I wanted to become. It took more than twenty years to give them voices and breathe life into their world. Into Ny’a.
For over a decade, I worked as a sustainability consultant in London, writing only in the quiet hours of dawn with a cat on my lap and a bucket of coffee by my side. In 2023, I finally took the leap: I became an independent contractor, began working with authors, and devoted myself fully to writing. It was the best decision I ever made.
Since then, I’ve been on a relentless journey to hone my craft, to learn the strange machinery of this industry, and to create stories filled with flawed, fierce, and loveable characters. I believe fantasy is at its best when it reminds us how deeply human we are — even when the world around us is not.
When I’m not writing, I’m usually running, reading (I am a fan of any mythology), or wrangling my growing household. I love the outdoors; nature is my first and constant source of inspiration.
